Chapter 1/non-canon

Chapter 1 is the first chapter of The Ideal Game. It introduces a "friendly" AI serving the player as an automatic game generator.
==Coverage==
Chapter 1 starts in a kitchen with a dialogue box greeting the player and introducing himself as Nigel the AI. As he continues to speak, it is revealed that he is able to generate games whatever the player desires and doesn't need to take surveys. However, as he is about to generate their ideal game, he suddenly experience an error occurance and resorts to the default game; Plat-A-Rama.
The player gets sent there, playing the game normally and collecting coins until they reach Happy Meadows. There, the player can buy a strange snowglobe from Shopster and activate Snowpocalypse in order to enter the cave and fight the game's only boss: Snowster. The player must avoid getting hurt by Snowster's attack though a button with a cursed-text saying BREAK appears in the middle of the boss fight and rapidly clicking the button quickly depletes Snowster's health until his healthbar is empty. He then thanks the player and immediately jumps off into the abyss. Right after the player receives 12 Health Potions and all items related to Snowster, a weird sound plays, and the UI gets removed.
==Event==
In March 4, 2024, gwig released an event programmed to update as days goes by that lasts for a week related to "The Gatekeeper" happening in Chapter 1, making the game unsettling. All the latest changes relating to the event were marked with noise boxes that used to keep increasing everyday, which was first discovered by the community at 05:53 AM (specific timezone needed).
Here is a list of recorded changes during the event:
===PLAT-A-RAMA!===
*PLAT-A-RAMA!'s main theme gets slowed down.
*Some of the flowers turns white, appearing colorless.
*One of the signs located in the entrance to Snowster's cave reads out "hell is home" instead of the usual gibberish in every sign.
*The player can enter the Town Hall if they have retrieved the key.
====Library====
*In the basement, the door with the sign "KEEP OUT" can be accessed, entering it is a room containing the Purple book.
*The shelf that used to have the book about Snowster in the demo burned down and is replaced with another book.

*He tells the player The Gatekeeper is on his way after telling the player to get the key if they do not go after getting the quest.
*When he talks about purpose in the backstage, he mentions The Gatekeeper as an example.
====EX Brothers====
*Inside Pex, the sign leading to Anatomical Hub is written as Aratopical Up, Hub Ahead instead of Anatomical Hub, Up Ahead.
*During the minigame, the music gets slowed down.
*Before going to the elevator, Pex tells the player that The Gatekeeper is on his way instead of telling he will return the favor.

==Trivia==
*According to gwig, the non-canon version of chapter 1 is a continuation from the Pre-remake canon of chapter 3 after Melvin activates the particle accelerator, resetting the world. This explains why there are lots of parts related to Pre-remake despite no longer being canon."According to the lore, the particle accelerator from chapter 3 caused the whole world to reset. There’s cave paintings showing what happened" 
*Despite being removed, Cobol makes a cameo as part of the credits in Plat-A-Rama.
