TW/CW: implied violence against people, explicit violence against plushies.

Starting Hint

First, identify which role cards everyone has at the end of the game and answer the corresponding question on the game board. You may not always be able to see the cards, but the players' behavior can help you figure out which is which. Each game board question begins "number the xth", which indicates a letter in that question's answer. Turn that letter into a number using A1Z26.

Next, find a name for each role. These are nicknames given to the players in other real VHS board games. Find the name of those games, and use the number from the first step to index into it and get the answer to Part 1.

If you get stuck, here is the list of games:

You find an ominous thumb drive lying around, and make the questionable decision to plug it into your computer.

The videos appear to be corrupted. Track down the malevolent force inside your computer, and don't forget... there's power in names.
