According to the story, the alleged rogue game developer who created the cursed game had a history of producing bootleg games. As the protagonist progresses through the levels of the game, they begin to notice increasingly strange glitches and anomalies. These include distorted graphics, characters behaving in unusual ways, and even instances where the game appears to be self-aware and is mocking the protagonist. As the game continues, it becomes more and more unsettling, with progressively bizarre and terrifying occurrences. As the plot of the NES Godzilla Creepypasta unfolds, the protagonist is haunted by increasingly bizarre and unsettling occurrences that seem to extend beyond the confines of the game. The protagonist hears Godzilla's roar coming from outside their window and finds that the game has somehow infected their computer, taking over their life. As the game's hold on the protagonist intensifies, they question their own sanity and begin to wonder if they are imagining everything or if they have been cursed by the game. In the climax of the story, the protagonist confronts the game's creator, who reveals that he had created the game as a means of unleashing a powerful curse on anyone who played it. The protagonist is then forced to play the game to the end, unleashing a terrifying, Lovecraftian monster into the real world. The story concludes on a cliffhanger, with the fate of the protagonist and the world left uncertain. | According to the story, the alleged rogue game developer who created the cursed game had a history of producing bootleg games.

{{See Also|Akai Heya Complete Version}} | |||
The animated "Red Room" legend involves two friends discussing a rumor about a mysterious internet pop-up ad posing the question "Do you like —?" with fatal consequences upon closure. Despite initial skepticism, one friend investigates, finding no information online. However, the pop-up appears during routine browsing, featuring a voice repeatedly asking "Do you like —?". Despite attempts to close it, the pop-up persists, with the voice becoming distorted until it asks, "Do you like red?" As the character persists, the voice eventually poses the complete question, "Do you like the red room?" Subsequently, a website displaying a list of names appears, and the protagonist senses a presence behind them. The next day, school gossip circulates about two students who purportedly took their lives by painting their rooms red with their own blood. The protagonist's computer screen then displays their name at the bottom of the list before shutting off with an eerie sound. If pop-ups are enabled, a pop-up resembling the story's ad may appear after the video concludes. | |||
