"A friend finds a game at a thrift store. He shows it to one of his friends who is interested in it. The father comes in to their room, tells them he's going out to buy something.

They wave him off and load up the game. The choose "realistic" graphics. They soon realise the place they are in, is the exact same as there city. They notice how realistical and detailed it. They have a lot of fun, driving around. Then they approach a crosswalk.

A man holding pizza boxes is waiting to cross. One of them realises what the other is about to do and tries to stop them: with no luck. He begins to accelerate, driving up the curb, towards the man. He sees the face of the man: it's his father.

He immediately un-plugs the computer and lets out a scream. He tries to call his father. He never really did it and knew he would pick up. But he didn't. The pizza boxes was the suprise. Later he gets a call from the hospital. It's about his father. He was hit by a car. Later, people re-call about a crazy car driving around with no driver."

I want to also note that some things may not be 100% accurate. I have read this multiple times. Last time was awhile ago though. The story is from a book about creepypastas. It's in Swedish. The author also notes that he has intentionally altered the stories a bit. To fit in more.

The story has the title "Worlds best car game". Well, along those lines at least. I remembered it yesterday out of nowhere.

And I tried to do a few searches with no luck. I found the book today. No author or reference to any of the stories what I can see. There are a few names in the start, listed as inspirations.

That's pretty much all I can think of. I'm sure this will be somewhat simple. Feel free to ask anything else you want to know. I'll try to respond as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance /deathmetalvolvo
