"After all, it has to be me, the PLAYER CHARACTER."

Eddie doesn't understand what you're saying.

You open your iPhone.

The battery is at Inf %.

A new application, ESS, has appeared.

You ask Eddie if he knows "ESS."

He tells you that ESS = Eddie Security System.

It's the system of cameras and traps that's everywhere in the building.

You're smiling.

This is going to be too easy.

No time to waste.

The song plays on loop.

♫ You're trapped, trapped, trapped, trapped, trapped ♫

You're trapping intruders.

You progress through the Double Switch story.

♫ Baby, you're trapped, huh ♫

You get the security codes.

Eddie leaves the basement, he’s free.

You stay where you are.

You continue to progress "in the game."

Finally, with Lyle's help, you put an end to Eddie's evil plans.

He's locked in the basement again.

♫ You're trapped ♫

With you.

He wants to slaughter you for betraying him.

"I'm not your friend!"

With those words, you are returned home and out of danger.

Although you weren't really in danger

Trapped by The Misfits continues to play over and over on your iPhone, but the ESS app has disappeared.
