When you finally bypass Windows Defender (it will flag the executable—not for a virus, but for an “unidentified behavioral anomaly”), you’re greeted not by a title screen, but by a terminal window. It reads: LOADING ABBY.sys DATE STAMP: 2021.01.12 WARNING: OXOPOTION ACTIVE >_ If you can call it that. Poke Abby is ostensibly a Pokémon -like monster tamer, but the monsters are absent. You control a single pixel-art girl named Abby—rendered in a desaturated, olive-green palette—across a single screen: her bedroom. Don’t play it

She clips through it.
