I'm going to try my best to remember everything I've encountered...
--
About Early 2008 I found about the supposed Tails Doll curse. Now at the time I remember Sonic R being one of my favorite spin-off games, and thought Tails Doll was just a harmless fictional character. At the time I only had Sonic R for the PC and in the past years have taken it out and played it, unaware of the danger.
I found videos about the Tails Doll curse on youtube. The Tails Doll at the time was one of my favorite characters, and when I was seven we got the PC game from my brother's friend and we would always play it together...I remember sitting and watching my brother race.
Back then the game would take us hours, and now when I play it doesn't take no longer than 30 minutes. I got dragged into the Tails Doll curse and wouldn't shut up about it at school during my 8th grade year. I creeped out half of my friends, and my best friend and I started to have weird dreams of Tails Doll coming and slowly killing us. After finding the site with all the Tails Doll stories, I remember I would just sit down and read them, and at night I'd huddled underneath my covers, terrified.
Slowly my obsession with the doll disappeared and I was free from his grasp. I forgot all about him over the summer break, and suddenly when September rolled around, I started to read the stories I missed during the past weeks I wasn't checking.
I eventually found out more information about him, and when Halloween came around I grinned. Of course I knew the warnings of how Tails Doll gets more powerful on Hallow's Eve, and I was going to take the risk. During the time I gotten Sonic Gems and tried playing it first, and completed it easily. Tag 4 was also done quickly, since I knew my opponent well.
I stared at my Sonic R cd for PC and frowned. I had to beat this before midnight, and it was about 10:30 pm. No worries though, and I shrugged as I plopped it into the computer and waited for it to load.
Something wasn't right when I double-clicked on the icon to play it. The Direct3D and DirectDraw screen came up, and when I selected my option, the screen went black and nothing came up. I found it slightly creepy and quickly ejected the disc and placed it away. That was enough for one night, I was terrified of what just happened and tried to push it out of my brain. The last couple days I was Tails Doll savvy...carving a pumpkin into his form, and then making almost a life-like paper version of him.
The next day on November 1st, I redid the Sonic Gems and Sonic R for PC still didn't work. Since then I've been weary about the doll. I got one of my friends obsessed and I fear for her. Her, My other friend and I always tried the Tails Doll curse in the bathroom. First time we didn't have the right song, and I thought I saw something and told them to get out. The second time my other friend got scared and started to cry, and as we left the room I turned around and frowned, then snorted. "Of course you're not real, how silly of me." I shook my head and followed them downstairs.
For Christmas I recieved Sonic R for Sega Saturn. Now let the real thing to begin. But already two months passed by and I haven't touched the game.
My friend came over on Friday the 13th, in February and we decided to complete all three games and see what would happen. She recorded while I played the games.
We got Gems down easily, and as I put in the PC version, I completely forgot about Halloween night until a pop-up came up saying the game was having issues. I told my friend that it not playing has happened before, and as I hit the control, alt, and delete button at once and forced the program to quit, but the screen went black and I froze. The damn familiar tune. Can You Feel the Sunshine started to play from my speakers and my friend quickly recorded it. I have the video and this is what we said. (Blue font = me, Teal = my friend):
"Okay the game won't work and the suddenly this thing started playing."
"Oh good god..."
"We're not lying! We're dead serious..."
"Oh no...."
"C'mon Aru, let's get out of here."
"O...Okay!"
After about five minutes we went back into my room to see if it was safe. My friend told me to remove the game and I did. After that we decided that playing the Sega Saturn wasn't the best idea at the moment and took our stuff into the living room.
--
I will keep this thing updated with every event. Another Friday the 13th approaches and my plans to play all three are still in effect for me...I'm not sure if my Sonic R won't work because it's old...or perhaps Tails Doll is warning me.
