    Funny that they claim the hat man comes from 2008. LSD for the Playstation had the hat man, though he was called The Gray Man, all the way back in 1998. I kept trying to figure out what benadryl had to do with a character from an obscure game beyond both being sleep related…

      And honorable mentions to other behatted motherfuckers who you probably don’t want to find standing at the end of your bed in the middle of the night also go out to:

        I was looking through that wiki and apparently there’s events and stuff that are triggered depending on certain conditions being met. The other night I was watching someone play it for Halloween and they got a super long cutscene for filling in the face in the middle. I always thought the board was just for showing the kind of dream you had and that everything else was pretty much random or dependent on the day counter. I’m gonna have to load it up now and see what I’ve missed.
