It's been a year since Wonder started living in this neighborhood. So far, he's been enjoying it: meeting new people, facing strange occurrences, and possibly seeing some familiar faces. However, there was something he remembers fondly from his time here. A special event took place.
Every October, people from all over come to different houses for two things: candy and bonding. The first time he tried this, it was a tad overwhelming. He wasn't prepared what to do. But this year, everything changes. With the help of Professor Shirogane, an ally of an organization of his, they converted Wonder's home into some sort of video game museum. When someone enters, a game he likes or fits with the theme of Halloween is generated, and a random moment from it will be presented as if it was actually happening. Along with the changing scenes, the candy bowl changes its sweets to fit some of the games items or maybe even a moment personified into a sugary treat, and Wonder's costume changes with the game, making him a different character each time.
He waited for his first guest, and in the meantime, he headed towards his selection of consoles laid out on the coffee table, sat down on his white leathery couch, and searched through his basket of video games.
Which one to play though?
From the outside, the house looks standard and generic. On the front lawn, there were some spooky skeletons here and there, some graves, maybe even a few pumpkins that have a carving of a Wonder-Mask. The front door's entrance had a flickering light above it; whether or not it was intentional is up to what the visitors think of it.

But do they enter the home?

Noël... a film enthusiast by nature, and a passionate director through the same means. He was happy going around and filming for his vlog for iFilm, and he was also happy taking pictures of any consenting Halloween celebrator. He had already gotten some good shots of his friends -- Viola being one of his favourite subjects this evening just because she was great at make-up, special effects, and tailoring in general.
As Noël was straightening out his Sherlock Holmes attire, he yielded in his stride and looked to one of the houses he felt like he had already passed before, though must have missed the first time around.
Carefully placing his camera back into his camera bag, Noël was definitely intrigued by this house. He approached it, throwing caution to the wind as he typically did when he was out in the field most of the time. He glanced at the flickering light, and then looked at the door.
Typically... Noël was better mannered than to just... enter a house, as it were. He was going to knock, but another force compelled him to abandon that desire. Instead, he grabbed hold of the handle, turned it, and opened the door.

The room from inside was multiple shades of black and white; the floor was white, the walls were white, almost everything was white, including Wonder. Shadows were the only thing that were gray and/or black. Sitting on the couch, Wonder was dressed in these striped pajamas. He sat with his legs on the couch, almost curled up in a ball, his hands firmly grasping on the controller., and shaking violently Behind him, was a man, looking tired and depressed. He had rolled up his sleeves, then began to pinch on something in his wrists. "No, no, please don't..." Wonder muttered with worry. The man then slowly pulled downwards, pulling out a vein from the arm. "Oh God, why?! Stop!" Wonder screamed in disgust, as the man screams in agony as the crimson blood from the arm drips onto the floor. Just then, there was some sort of a pause menu on the entire thing. Wonder stopped to lean from the side of the couch, hoping not to vomit. "Ughhh... That was awful..."
Glancing about the interior and then back to the outside world, it would have been jarring to perhaps anyone else. But Noël? He was, as mentioned before, a film enthusiast. When it pertained to special effects and getting a scene set up, he was always very much happy to look at the set and then attempt to learn how they got it in such a state.
Was this some kind of underground haunted house? Noël did not remember seeing any advertisements when he was in San Jose with the others about anything like that. Nope.... So this experience was both unexpected, and one that he found himself extremely impressed by.
Walking in further to the starkly set house, Noël looked to the crosshatching styles that seemed to add emphasis to the lighting in the area. It was only when Noël heard someone crying out and yelling for something else to 'stop' that he started wandering toward the source of the noise.
The only colour that Noël saw, besides his own clothing, was the red of the blood that was seen from the sight before him. Raising his brow to the impressive state of the house and its set, Noël pulled out his camera and lined up a shot.
This house and its horror 'exhibits' were too good an opportunity to pass in terms of gathering good photos to show his colleagues later on, and it would provide excellent reference material for future sets he would want to make.

Wonder looked up from his position, noticing Noël taking photos of his home. "Uhhh... Can I help you?" Wonder asked. "If you're here for the candy, the bowl's right next to you. Be careful, it might be licorice veins."
"Is... is this not a Halloween attraction?" Noël asked, genuinely confused. He looked about and then back to the person who spoke to him. "I'm really sorry if I wrongly intruded. Though... I am severely impressed by the way the layout of your house has been set up!"
Noël then looked to the bowl of candy before reaching over and taking a few pieces for himself. He, fortunately, did not very much mind licorice. So long as they were imported... but that seemed like asking too much of a simply, family-friendly holiday and festivity.
"Again, sorry about barging in. My mistake. I'll be on my way." Before Noël turned to leave, he ended it with: "and thank you for the candy. Enjoy the rest of your evening!"

"Well, kind of. See, it's my home, and I had the help of a friend to make visiting this place more entertaining. If anyone enters, a game is randomly generated from the list, followed by a random moment. The candy inside the bowl also changes with the game," Wonder would explain. But by the time he finished, Noël was already gone. "Well, thanks, anyways," he replied to no one in particular, and returned to the console to think about how to forget these Neverending Nightmares.
I knocked on the door feebly, a bag styled to look like a pumpkin in my hands. I had dressed up as a werewolf, ironically. I knicked again, but with a bit more courage. I re-adjusted my werewolf hood, amiling as I waited patiently for the door to open.
Maybe this time with a die roll.

Please be one of the three games I actually know XP
The door opens with a creak. From the inside of the house, the scene had changed dramatically from the previous scene. The room now had dull wooden floors and a sickly light green wallpaper plastered with a carpet in the center. On the left side corner, there was a bed; clean but old-looking. On the other side, a small, young boy peeked through the door on the same side. Wonder, sitting a bit off center of the room, looks similar to the young boy: donning a skin-colored bald cap and suit and his face decorated with a fake stream of tears. He sits on the couch, hands on his controller connected to his PC, motionless, as if he's watching something play out.
Suddenly, the young child starts to panic, skittering around for something. After a few seconds, he tossed the rug aside, revealing a trapdoor. Just then, a grotesque, hideous, fat woman bursts through the door, wielding a knife. The boy flings open the hatch and drops down; the woman attempting to grab him, but missing.

(im going to act like i approached at a different time.)
Adrian and Lilica were walking up the path, talking back and forth. Adrian was dressed up in a butler's outfit with his hair slicked back and neat for once.
Lilica on the other hand was dressed up as a girl from the forest. She wore a shirt that revealed quite a bit of her belly but it was lined with fresh leaves. She also wore a short skirt of the same fashion. He long blonde hair was pinned up using a branch of a cherry tree, blossoms attached despite the time of year.
They both looked to be their late teens early twenties, though this didn't portray their true age.
"Well here's yet another door." Adrian spoke as though he was bored.
"Cheer up Frosty. I don't care how long we are out but you are staying right here." Lilica pointed at the ground next to her and laughed.
Adrian only sighed in return as he knocked on the door.
