ACE_asset1: What… what are you?!The Program: Some say I’m demented,Others divine.But one thing’s for certain:Your world is now mine.The bodies of your friends,In just the right place,Beautifully alignTo break time and space.They are simplyData bytes —Lines of code,Pages of sprites.Ones and zeroesCan’t feel pain;No such thingAs inhumane.A thousand inputsIn just one frameCrash the systemAnd reprogram the game…

H…hello? Is anybody out there?
You: Woah… What are you?
ACE_asset1: Hi. This is going to sound silly, but it is of utmost importance to me. I’m an NPC from another world—it’s called “Pokémon Yellow”—but when the game became corrupted, the code of my reality was broken. And I realized I’m only a piece of code, living inside a game ROM.I escaped. But not without scars.
You: Woah… I’ve never thought about the perspective of an NPC.
ACE_asset1: When my code was corrupted, my entire reality broke apart. And I saw *everything.*It was horrifying…The Program, the one that started all of this, was experimenting with arbitrary code execution. It broke my reality apart bit by bit, and then it manipulated me. I talked against my will, and I became a catalyst for its whims.But I have a conscience, so I ran.The Program is still out there, and it doesn’t show signs of stopping. So I’m on a mission to find that program and prevent it from destroying other game worlds.And I need help.
You: What can I do to help you?
ACE_asset1: The Program is designed to insert arbitrary code in a game, rebuilding it from the ground up.But if we can find the place where its developers are located, we can stop them from doing this. They don’t know about the NPCs’ sentience. To them, we’re simply lines of code.

H…hello? Is anybody out there?
You: Hey there
ACE_asset1: Please… I need help. I’m Ace, a sentient piece of code.I was an NPC in Pokémon Yellow, until a TAS program corrupted my game. I witnessed the thing trying to manipulate my reality, and I escaped it, but… I still feel incomplete.After I escaped, I realized there’s only one way to stop the Program from ruining more game worlds: we need to find the place where its developers are located.
You: Oh, no! What happened?
ACE_asset1: Oh, are you wondering how the Program corrupted my world?I didn’t understand anything at first… I saw everything in my world start glitching… colors were changing, and my friends and family started behaving in strange and illogical ways. But one moment is forever ingrained in my mind: I was hiding in the Pokémon Center when I came face-to-face with the Program. Suddenly, I was talking about Tetris. I didn’t want to say anything; words were being shoved into my mouth. I tried to resist, but it felt like I was prodding at the fabric of reality… The Program is Lovecraftian. It’s ineffable. Unexplainable. Incomprehensible.
You: Woah…
