my favourite memory of harvest moon ds is the one time where the game glitched and my game became haunted with a ghost child who didnt exist

i was married to celia in the game and id come home after working around 6 pm -ish and went inside and the game cut to a cutscene which happens on special events

celia was inside and asked me if i remembered what day it was, and gave me three options

• My Birthday
  
• Your Birthday
•        ‘s Birthday

i knew it wasnt mine or her’s birthday, so i chose the weird third option and she just said “that’s right!” and the camera panned over to the dining table to show our kid sitting at the table, ready to celebrate his birthday

except we never had a kid, at any point. i hadnt gotten that far yet.

celia was acting like it was totally normal, which scared me even more, because this kid was not even hers. it was the default baby you get from one of the other girls, not even celia’s, and he’d just materialized in my home, brainwashed my wife into thinking he was our son, and forced her to think it was its birthday

the next day the child was gone, celia had no memory of ever giving birth. life moved on. but i never forgot.

if you dont believe me heres an awfully recorded video of it happening to someone else
