Creepypasta Better [top] — Useless.avi

The player finds the USELESS file on a third-party memory card bought at a flea market. The memory card is scorched on one side. When loaded into Majora’s Mask , the game doesn't launch the save. Instead, the screen glitches into a low-resolution, 15-frame-per-second cinematic. The audio isn't music—it's the raw, unprocessed microphone feedback from the controller's Expansion Pak.

The video shows the inside of the Clock Tower in Clock Town. Link stands motionless, wearing the Fierce Deity Mask (a fan favorite). However, the mask is missing its eyes—just two black voids. The camera pans slowly to the right to reveal the Bombers' Notebook, open on the ground. Inside, every character’s name has been scratched out, replaced by a single word: "Witness." Below the names is a counter: 00:00:01 .

The narrative takes a dark turn as the protagonist becomes increasingly obsessed with the file, convinced that it holds some hidden message or meaning.

The "deep" part? When the video ends, the camera pans. You see the tripod, the lights, and then—for a split second—the reflection in the glass of the observation booth. It’s not a director or a monster. It’s a monitor, showing a live feed of you watching the video.

Abrupt cut to a hallway. Same house. The walls are now covered in crayon drawings, but the figures are wrong—eyes crossed out, mouths sewn shut. One drawing is labeled “ME” with an arrow pointing to a gray silhouette. Another says “YOU” with no figure at all. The camera begins to move down the hall on its own, faster than walking speed.
