What started as a harmless download has spiraled into chaos as one local gamer has allegedly devoted “an unhealthy portion” of their free time to Slice Master, the mobile game where players flip knives, slice objects, and, according to friends, “scream at pink spikes like they’re a real threat.”
The Incident
Sources close to the gamer report that the obsession began “innocently enough” when they downloaded the app during a lunch break.
“At first, it was cute,” said one family member. “They’d flip the knife, giggle at the slicing sounds, and say, ‘Okay, just one more run.’ But now? They’ve skipped dinner three nights in a row. They talk about multipliers in their sleep. Last night I caught them glaring at a pineapple like it had wronged them.”
Community Reactions
The local community has also taken notice. One coworker described the gamer as “a shadow of their former self.”
“They used to check emails in meetings,” the coworker explained. “Now, they’re just flipping imaginary knives under the table. The spikes are haunting them. You can see it in their eyes.”
Another friend admitted to trying the game themselves. “I thought they were exaggerating,” the friend confessed. “But then I downloaded it. And now I haven’t blinked in 40 minutes. Please send help.”
The Science Behind the Madness
Experts say Slice Master’s design is “diabolically perfect” for addiction.
“It’s the classic compulsion loop,” explained Dr. Lila Thompson, a psychologist specializing in gaming behavior. “Tap, reward, failure, retry. It’s basically a slot machine with knives. Humans never stood a chance.”
Dr. Thompson paused before adding: “Also, the slicing sound is way too satisfying. I play it myself. Don’t quote me on that.”
Government Response
In a statement, officials confirmed they are “monitoring the situation closely.”
“We’ve seen casual games disrupt communities before — Flappy Bird, Candy Crush, even 2048,” said one spokesperson. “But Slice Master poses a unique risk: it teaches people to trust kitchen knives far too much.”
When asked if they planned to intervene, the spokesperson muttered something about “just one more try” and walked away while staring at their phone.
Conclusion
As the obsession spreads, experts urge caution. While Slice Master is free to play and offers short bursts of fun, players are warned that time has a way of disappearing within the app.
For now, the local gamer continues their quest for the perfect multiplier. Family and friends can only watch helplessly as dinner burns, alarms are missed, and knives are flipped endlessly toward digital destiny.
“This isn’t a phase,” the gamer whispered when approached for comment. “This is who I am now. I am the Slice Master.”
