When the game first released in 2012, it was a success mainly due to famous youtubers making let's plays of it on Youtube. It also creates files on your desktop, though almost all of them are in its own folder on your desktop or in the game folder, depending on where you downloaded it from. The game is quite dependent on jumpscares to scare you, albeit not necessarily as a crutch for atmosphere, which is done well. During the end of Chapter 2, you have a revolver, which you can shoot with using the left mouse button. You can crouch by pressing the CTRL button, and when crouching you can pick up most items using the E button. You use the WASD keys to walk around and the mouse/touchpad to look around.

The game 'ends', and you get to restart all over again. So, the person gets on the chair and hang themself, only to be stopped by the Entity, who desperately needs them. White Face explains to the anonymous that they are blocked with him for eternity, and implicitly indicates them that, the only way to finally escape is by committing suicide. In the end, the individual confronts White Face, in a black, unnerving room, with a chair and a noose on the ceiling. The game then crashes again, and restarting it, takes you to an enlightened room with doors with some numbers on them. Only to find that they were tricked by White Face, who decided to trap and torture the person inside a cell. Finally, they use the heart and open the door, seemingly escaping that nightmare. The player arrives once again to the ominous hall, and quickly heads to the stairs of the first room. They take a key behind the wall, and manage to open the gate. The person, eventually, gets to escape from White Face by taking an elevator, which takes them to a street with multiple white pillars holding crucified and bloodied corpses on them. Restarting, the entity asks you its name, and after putting it, the individual is sent to a car park, where he is chased by White Face. But as they exit the room, White Face comes in and causes a BSOD with subsequent crash of the game. Later, the individual enters in a fleshy and bloody room, where they find the heart required to open the door of the first room. The person opens one of the doors and finds two libraries and a key behind one of them. The stairs take them to a large and ominous hall with many doors. After taking a key under a table nearby the bed, they open the closet, only to find blood in it and a key, and heads to some stairs behind him. IMSCARED starts with an unknown individual, who happens to be in a small room, with a door which requires a heart in order to be opened. It was known to change forms, from ominous floating head to a slim woman. It infected people's computers and played games with them. Once someone made an entity known as White Face. All stories are made up by fans of IMSCARED, using the content found inside of the game. Note: There is currently no official story written by Ivan Zanotti. As the game continues on, more and more confusing events like the first happen. When you wander about and finally find the heart the text is talking about, a strange floating head jumpscares you and crashes your game by showing a fake BSoD (Blue Screen of Death). When you try to leave, text on the screen reads: 'I need a Heart in order to open it'. The original IMSCARED is about escaping a room.
