Blue Guy

**Blue Guy** is the main character of *Close Me* and *Please Love My Computer Game*.

## Appearance

In *Close Me*, Blue Guy resembles a young man with a blue hoodie, blue hair, and light blue skin. Additionally, at one point in the game his typical colors are switched out with black and white. In *Please Love My Computer Game*, he has the same physical shape but has his colors muted into grey tones. Blue Guy is typically depicted without a face (more an artistic decision than a literal one), though this deliberate decision also allows to show a bizarre physical change in him. At various points in both games, Blue Guy's face morphs into a jagged pitch-black grin with equally black and jagged eye sockets.

## Biography

### Background

Most of Blue Guy's life is shrouded in mystery, from their personal history to their personality. What is definite is that at some point he fell in love with a woman called Green Gal and they developed a serious relationship, possibly getting married. Through implications in the story (which is presented without any words), it is indicated that Green Gal eventually became pregnant but later lost the baby in some sort of miscarriage. This evidently resulted in a fracture in their relationship, leaving them both deep in grief and pain.

What happens there becomes more unclear, but eventually something horrifying and undoubtedly otherworldly became involved in their life, changing their relationship forever...

### *Close Me*

Blue Guy experiences the game by waking up and interacting with things around his property and several nearby businesses, before going to bed or being "closed" (closing out the game to advance it). After seeing Green Gal on the first day, she disappears and Blue Guy is left to his own devices. As the days progress, he collects a number of keys around his property, unlocking pathways to his local hospital and the post office, all while experiencing strange flashbacks weaving into his current experiences.

From flashbacks, the development of Blue Guy and Green Gal's relationship is detailed, from them having dinner together and setting up a room for their unborn child to Green Gal losing their baby and falling into despair. Along the way, strange armless humanoids and shuffling body bags with unseen occupants begin to hunt him, along with mysterious and mobile mannequins aiding or preventing him from completing his journey. In addition to these beings, visions of a vaguely human shadow and an increasingly distorted form of Green Gal haunt him, likely antagonistic to him. Finally, a mysterious face on a wall (noticeably similar to Edmund from *Red Haze*) gives Blue Guy a key to help him further on his journey.

After gathering two strange red orbs, Blue Guy goes through a mysterious door in the baby's room, leading to even more surreal and visceral flashbacks. This another strange face hiding in his wardrobe and his television displaying a static background, even with the power cord pulled out. After being led to his bathroom, the truth is shown to him.

The surreal flashbacks reveal that Green Gal began to change in personality and appearance, her light green skin taking on a more extreme and disturbing shade and becoming heavily associated with strange religious iconography. As Blue Guy navigates this surreal experience, two of the humanoids that had previously pursued him corner him in a mysterious church-like building. He then awakens chained and partially stripped of his clothing in a dark dungeon basement, where Green Gal appears to masturbate to his naked and starving form.

However, a mysterious force releases him, and Blue Guy, having physically changed in appearance (likely an indicator that the abuse he endured psychologically damaged him), escapes the dungeon. Going back upstairs, it appears that the dungeon was beneath his house all along. Blue Guy takes a knife sitting on his dining room table, goes to his bedroom, and hacks off Green Gal's arms and slashes her face apart, all while something laughs in the background. As it turns out, Green Gal had been dead for some time, and Blue Guy seemed to try and push away the memory of what he did to his love.

In the New Game+ DLC, the story is expanded further. A new passage opens up in Blue Guy's front yard, leading to a massive field with a mysterious house in it. A cauldron sits outside of it with a number on it. Blue Guy then begins to hunt for mysterious baby-like beings, pulling them out of holes and throwing them on the ground, leaving them wailing. Things change this time around, with some of the entities that had previously pursued him even more determined to catch him than before. A noteworthy example is two of the armless beings using a previously safe room as a trap (with a strange entity that is connected to Green Gal in the center of the room as bait) to ambush Blue Guy. Additionally, some of the creatures in the body bags become mobile (previously only proving harmful if touched by Blue Guy).

Along with a strange and seemingly endless stone building with left and right paths, Blue Guy eventually finds a "heart key", guarded by a mannequin identical in color scheme and apparel to Green Gal. The key unlocks the strange house in the field, in which additional babies, a mysterious well with a dweller inside, and strange manifestations of Blue Guy being abused appear. Strangely, Blue Guy has a face within this building (his model artistically stylized with one), a jagged Glasgow-esque grin with sharp teeth and empty black eyes.

After collecting all of the babies (indicated by the sign beside the cauldron reaching zero) and completing the game once more, a new scene unlocks. Blue Guy awakens in a hellish room next to the mannequin of Green Gal, which is crying next to an empty crib. Going through a hellish scene, he finds himself in a maze where he is chased by many of the armless beings. After escaping, he meets a mysterious black and white humanoid with standing next to the decapitated head of Green Gal. After this, Blue Guy finds himself in front of his beloved's grave, with two of his relentless pursuers standing beside him, and he breaks down crying.
