Incredibox Sprunki Infected V2: When the Happy Beep-Boop Goes Wrong
Okay, real talk: who decided to take the cute little Sprunki characters and give them a horror makeover? I was expecting the usual cheerful nonsense, but instead I got... this. Sprunki Infected V2. The name should have tipped me off, I guess.
It starts normal enough. You've got the usual interface, the usual setup. Then you click the first character and instead of a happy "boop" you get this distorted, glitchy sound that makes my laptop speakers crackle. My cat immediately jumped off my lap. Good sign? Bad sign? I can't tell.
The "Infected" Part Is Real
The characters look... sick. Like literally. Their colors are washed out, some have this static effect overlay, one of them looks like it's melting. It's unsettling in a way I didn't expect from a browser game. Whoever made this was definitely having a bad day, or maybe they just really like creepy pasta.
Sound-wise, it's a mess. But an intentional mess? I think so. There's one that sounds like a record skipping while someone whispers backwards. Another like a dial-up modem having a nightmare. I managed to make something that sounded vaguely like the background noise in a haunted house simulator. My roommate yelled from the other room "are you watching horror movies again?"
No, I'm just making cursed music. Obviously.
Here's a quick "guide" if you want to try it yourself but don't want to get too creeped out:
1. Click the one in the middle first - it's the least disturbing
2. Avoid the one that looks like it's crying static (trust me)
3. The far right one makes a bass sound that actually kind of works?
4. Don't play this with headphones on full volume at night. Just don't.
Random Thoughts While Playing
Why does this exist? Like, what was the conversation? "Hey, you know those cute music games kids like?" "Yeah?" "Let's make a version that sounds like a computer virus set to music." "Brilliant!"
It's raining as I write this, which feels appropriate. The grey light coming through my window plus these glitchy sounds is a whole mood. Not a good mood, necessarily, but a mood.
I tried to make something that sounded like the alarm from my old microwave - you know, the beep it makes when it's done? Failed completely. Instead I made something that sounds like that microwave is possessed and trying to communicate. 0/10 for accuracy, 8/10 for atmosphere.
Answers to Questions Nobody Asked
Q: Is this suitable for children?
A: I mean, probably not? But kids are into weird stuff these days. My cousin's kid watches unboxing videos of creepy dolls on YouTube, so who am I to judge.
Q: Can I use these sounds for a horror game?
A: Maybe? I don't know the legal stuff. But technically yes, you could probably sample some of these glitches for something spooky.
Q: How is this different from the first Infected version?
A: More glitch? Different glitch? I didn't play V1 so I can't compare. This one exists, that's enough for me.
Personal verdict: It's interesting. Not "fun" in the traditional sense, but compelling in a train-wreck kind of way. Like watching a compilation of old Windows error sounds set to a beat. Would I play it again? Maybe if I'm in a specifically weird mood. Or if I want to annoy my cat.
The colors are mostly grey and sickly green. The animation stutters sometimes, but I think that's intentional? Or maybe my browser is just struggling. Hard to tell with this one.
If you're looking for the usual Sprunki experience, go play something else. If you want to make music that sounds like it's decomposing, congratulations, you found your new favorite time-waster.
Side note: After playing this for 15 minutes, my regular notification sounds now seem suspiciously cheerful. What have you done to me, Infected V2?
