It honestly would have been served better if it just kept the dead girlfriend bit completely out, as well as the "THE GAME IS LITERALLY HURTING ME" shit near the end. I understand creepypasta writers wanting some kind of danger in their stories, but that shit was fucking asinine. It would have been much more intense if there wasn't much of an explanation at all, that Red was just part of a fucked up haunted game cartridge that was aware of the narrator but couldn't do much else to him. Fuck, given the religious symbology plastered everywhere, if the story needed stakes it could have been a battle for the narrator's soul or something, nothing directly painful but through implication could have way a way worse outcome.
