Internet Explorer.exe was the first screamer game in the form of a shock site created and published by MattTheGameMaker on Game Jolt in 2015.
Gameplay
The game opens to an Internet Explorer homepage from 2015. The moment the player tries to type into the fake search bar, an image of a decomposing, diseased cow pops onto the screen with a loud, clipping noise. As the sound abruptly cuts out, ominous red text flashes: "SO..." followed quickly by another message above it: "I HEARD YOU LIKE RESEARCHING!" Before the player can react, a color-inverted image of an 9/11 jumper's corpse rapidly strobe-flashes on the screen. Eventually, a distorted humanoid arm lunges forward, shattering the glass before the screen dissolves into white noise, abruptly ending the game.
Internet Explorer 2.exe
Internet Explorer 2.exe served as a sequel to Internet Explorer.exe, but its release date remains unknown. Instead of opening straight to the search engine, the program initially displays a mock-up of a Microsoft Windows desktop. It presents a crudely drawn landscape over an Internet Explorer icon. Clicking the browser reveals a homepage with news websites and stock images cut off from the first game.
Once a search query is entered, the results page loads, showing a search input for "yourself" alongside matching images. After a short while, two red, rotating disks resembling eyes appear, accompanied by a loud scream. The screen cuts to black briefly before displaying a gruesome image of a person lying down with a disfigured face, revealing the inside of their head (similar to Cherrycake.org). Finally, the screen cuts to black once more, flashing the person's screen name colored in red as the program deletes itself from the desktop and ends the game.
Hiatus.exe
Hiatus.exe was a continuation of shock site-related games similar to Internet Explorer.exe.
Hiatus.exe features a play button and black screen text reading:
"Sorry for being on hiatus for quite a while... School has been getting in my way. Lots of stuff [sic] have been getting in my way."
Another line of text above the play button reads:
"This is a big game... With a loading screen!"
After clicking the play button, it presents a totally fake loading screen. After a few seconds of loading, it opens a web browser and redirects the user to the original webpage of Anne.jpg. A short time later, another website opens, linking the user to a Photobucket page from a user named Hypercomp01, featuring numerous images of people in vehicle accidents.[1]
Trivia
- MattTheGameMaker released most of his games featuring gore and pornography,[2] but a few years later, he deleted them (along with Internet Explorer and its sequel) out of remorse.
- Due to a coding error in Internet Explorer 2.exe, an Apple logo suddenly flashes a split second after clicking the icon.
