Feri's Quiz

Hey, author note here. This is one of my first properly written stories/creepypastas. I wanted to try and do something like this for a long time now and I figured this could be a good start. This is also based on a video that I made that is now no longer (fully) canon. Please don't be too harsh with me, and give me any criticism if needed. I really want to write more stories like this in the future. Thank you.
Hello, everyone. My name is Katherine, although I commonly go by piepumkin29 online.
I am an internet media hunter who lives in their mid-20’s and was also a guy back then. I usually post on my blog about life and stuff, with a mix of reviews and I even post pictures too. 
Today’s blog entry is majorly different from my usual ones, because I found myself in a scenario I don’t think I ever have been in before.
I’m sure everyone knows about those old browser game sites, right? Newgrounds, GameGape, the usual? Well, while I was dozing off and browsing the internet late at night, I found a really obscure site that I don’t think anyone has ever talked about yet. This site is named “ferifungames” in the URL and in the banner.
The site was… pretty basic looking, nothing too extreme or anything, it just had an autumn-like theme to it and that was that. There were updates for the site on the right, different pages you can go to on the left, and whatever is on the page you’re in on the middle. There were even advertisements for the pages as well, though, they seemed to be self made because I do not remember ever seeing them.
I went to the characters page, all it had was a simple description of the “Feri” character, which I will be calling “Frederick” since that seems to be his real name. As I progressed, the other pages were just simple pages, one that showed art that was drawn by other people, one that had the music from the games, and a contact button which led to a blank 404 page for some odd reason, it too had the same theme as the whole site. It showed Frederick with a confused look on his face while shrugging as there was an error message below him.
I shrugged off everything else, and headed to what I wanted to discover first in this weird ass rabbit-hole I was about to get myself into. 
Feri’s Quiz. The first ever game on this obscure site.
I started up the game. The title showed the background before then having the name of the game fade in with the bunny character sliding in from the right of the screen. He had a happy expression with a graded piece of paper, as he was looking at the player. There was a button labeled “PLAY!” inside a red rectangle right beside him. 
After looking at the title screen, I clicked play, before then encountering the “How to Play” section before getting into the actual game. It gave me simple instructions, telling the player that the questions will either be based on things related to Frederick, nature, or just objects in general. After reading the instructions, I finally got into the game. I was greeted with a scrolling spade background and chip-tune music, before then getting the questions.
The questions were fairly easy, if I’m going to be honest. The first few questions asked things related to Frederick, things like how many freckles his face usually has, what the spade on his shirt meant, what species of rabbit he is, and other stuff. Then it went to nature questions, then objects, and it was all just randomized. Every time you get a question right, it either gave you a goofy response, or a fact related to the question you just got.
I was going through all of the questions. There were some glitches here and there, and audio bugs. Some of the responses even seemed like Frederick was slowly getting more depressed. And then, I got to the last question. I didn’t really know how to feel when I saw this one.
“...Are you really sure that you want to be my friend?”
There was silence. No music or anything. And there were only two answers. Yes, or no. I chose yes, seeing what would happen. 
After I answered, instead of giving me a goofy response for getting it correct, or even a fact, three dots slowly faded in. It stayed like this for a couple seconds. The game then completely broke down afterwards. There were glitches all over the place and garbled noises started coming through my earbuds. It was like this for a while before freezing, and then cutting to a black screen for about 6 seconds.
It then transitioned to something else that I didn’t expect for this old 2000’s browser game to have.
Instead of the usual, pleasant backgrounds that were here before, I was greeted with what seemed to be an empty wasteland that was full of nothing but orange and brown. There was a single house with the lights on, the ground looked dead, and there were multiple leafless trees that were scattered everywhere. And instead of the happy chip-tune music, there were just sounds of wind, along with some weird ambience that was barely noticeable, and the faint sound of a falling tone repeatedly playing on loop.
After a few seconds of this, it slowly panned to Frederick, standing outside in the empty orangeness. He had a blank, emotionless expression on his face, looking up at the sky. He blinked slowly a couple times, and even had one of his eyes twitch, before then saying the following in his own voice.
“...Is this all that there is? Just me, and the emptiness of this endless autumn fog?”
“...I don’t feel happy. I don’t feel happy at all. This isn't what I wanted.”
“...I just want one friend.”
“...I just want someone to love.”
Before he said his last message, the screen went black. All the audio went away, and there were the final words that appeared after a few seconds.
“Is that too much to ask?”
The glitches came back, before then showing the congratulations screen. It had the same background as the title screen but now it was slightly dimmed. There was a big “CONGRATULATIONS!” sign in rainbow colors at the top of the screen. Frederick was jumping up in the air with a very happy expression on his face. 
The text on the left was saying that the player got all the questions right, and that he thanks you for playing and also that he’s proud of you. The button that was previously the play button is now saying “REPLAY?” in it. Clicking on it took me back to the title screen, like nothing ever happened.
I was mildly concerned. I was questioning what in the fuck I just played. I then went on a new tab, and tried to look around to see who made these games, and who made the site. No first names, no last names, not even a single photo of a person. It was just the three letters that spell out Frederick’s full name.
When I looked back in the tab that had Feri's Quiz running, I am not fucking kidding when I say this, the screen changed on it's own.
Frederick was standing in a front angle, both arms down, smiling with his pupils slightly smaller than usual, & staring directly at me. No music, no text, no background, absolutely nothing.
He then said these last words, the ones that have been echoing in my goddamn brain ever since I first played this game.
“Well played, Katherine. Let’s do this again sometime soon.”
