Overview

The game is a one-person work released 3 weeks after the Virginia Tech massacre. Its graphics and controls are both intentionally and amusingly clumsy. The player controls Seung-Hui Cho, the killer, through "3 levels of stealth and murder!" in a slanted overhead view. In the first level, the player must walk across the Virginia Tech campus to shoot Emily J. Hilscher, Cho's real-life first victim, without killing too many other people or scaring Emily away. Emily's death is witnessed by Ryan Clark, Cho's second victim, who also must be killed. In the second, he must walk across the same campus while avoiding the searchlights of police investigators. This is the only section with an appreciable challenge. In the third, he barricades the exit of a school building and must shoot everyone inside in 90 seconds before the police arrive to arrest him. During this level, a song created by Lambourn plays while audio clips praise, laugh at murder, or scold the player for merely wounding. Liviu Librescu is the only real victim to appear in this segment. The game finishes with Cho's suicide, which occurs when the player presses the shoot button. Cho monologues about mission goals and can also speak to other characters, whose reactions differ depending on whether they're fleeing Cho or not. The game's dialogue has occasional grammar or spelling errors and is riddled with obscenities, insults, racist terms, scatological references, and offers of sex from female characters in exchange for their lives.
