** Some of the website names or summaries on the Deep Wiki make you think they're one thing, but they're actually even worse.
*** "I Love Cats" just sounds like a website by someone who likes to own cats as a pet, and the wiki description is just "Meow!" so it looks completely innocent...then you find out it's about a roleplaying furry [[BestialityIsDepraved who has sex with his cats.]]
*** "My Gut" is described on the wiki as "shit pills". They're not pills that make you shit, they're pills ''made from'' shit.
*** "Share your genitals" sounds like a forum for sharing pictures of your genitals, which is squicky enough. But nah, it's actually about a man who gains sexual pleasure from cannibalizing other people's genitals.

* {{GIFT}}: Played with, in that this is the deep web and relatively few "normal" people have access to it. The opening scene with Amalea involves a vote for whether she should live or die, while she's visibly terrified and fleeing for her life. The vote is ''overwhelmingly'' for her to be killed, and the chat of the stream will be populated mostly with requests for body parts to be sent to them, or talking about how well they get off to what's going on.

The sequel to the 2016 Deep Web-based, Reflect Studios'-developed puzzle/horror game ''WelcomeToTheGame'', scheduled release at around Halloween of 2017.

The story follows Clint Edwards, an investigative reporter searching for a missing woman. His one and only lead is the Shadow Web, the deepest and darkest slice of the already infamous Deep Web, so he pursues it relentlessly. All the while, he's being hunted by the police, hackers, and MalevolentMaskedMen.
-----
!!The game provides examples of:
*AntiHero: The player isn't a saint. He hacks people, scams people, and is an outlaw, though he's ultimately just doing it all to save Amelea.
*TheCracker: This time around, it's the player who hacks people, either as contracts for [=DOSCoin=], or to get their Wi-Fi password. That doesn't stop rival hackers from targeting him though.
*Determinator: Clint ''will'' save Amelea, even if it means ruining a few lives, fending himself from home invaders and hackers, and becoming a highly wanted man.
*DuelingHackers: There's still plenty of jackasses trying to invade your computer like last time, but this time, you're also one of those jackasses.
*FictionalCurrency: You can buy helpful tools with [=DOSCoin=], which you earn by
*HeroAntagonist: The player isn't just being hunted by criminals anymore. Now ''they're'' a criminal themselves, so the police are on their ass too. They must combat this by constantly changing their Wi-Fi so the police can't track them.
*HollywoodHacking: Like the first game, the player has to ward off hackers through minigames. In a twist, the player does just as much hacking of their own to break into their neighbors' Wi-Fi.
*IntrepidReporter: Very few investigative reporters are willing to hack people, scam people, and fend off other hackers, dangerous criminals, and law enforcement just to save one random woman.
*MalevolentMaskedMen: The ones victimizing Amelea and the player.
