The screen glows bright in the room. It shows a car racing through snowy streets at night. The tires spin as it speeds up. The sound is loud and clear. I can see every pixel—small dots of color making up the car and road. I try pressing buttons but nothing happens. The car just keeps driving, not responding to my touches. I wiggle harder, trying different ones. The screen stays the same, bright but unchanging. Outside, a soft snow falls gently. Inside, the game world keeps moving without me.
