Five Glitches in Gacha Life

There are numerous spooky glitches on Gacha life I’ve encountered on the dark web, so I’m going to run through 5 of them. Gacha life is a fun roleplaying game where you dress up characters, play mini-games and set up scenes with said characters. After hearing about these glitches, I deleting the game because I was too scared to play it ever again.

'''FIRST GLITCH: THE INSANITY OF ELLEN:'''

It was a normal Friday, I came home from school, did my homework, got my phone, sat on the couch and I decided to record a movie I have been thinking about all week in Gacha Life. The main character in the story was named Ella, she was my favorite. It was a story about how Ella has a red eye that can kill just by sight, so she hides her eye to avoid getting in trouble. The secondary character was Jasmine, she was supposed to be the bully, I wanted to tweak her character a little bit to make her look depressed and menacing.

While I was editing Jasmine, something weird happened, The character slot next to Jasmine changed, it was originally a character named “Ellen” with pink hair and blue eyes but now, she had no name and had hyper realistic blood red eyes instead of blue eyes. I was taken aback, “What happened to Ellen? Why does she have no name and what happened to her eyes?” I asked myself. I realized that Jasmine’s expression and stance changed by itself, she changed from menacing to menaced in a swift second. “How is that even possible?” I said in shock.

I decided to exit out of the game. After a few minutes of regaining my sanity, I wanted to see if everything is normal again, hoping it would be normal I went in with a positive view, I clicked on the game and saw that everything is still the same, Jasmine is scared and Ellen is cursed, “It didn’t change? I guess I’ll change it myself.” I said. I know it was a stupid decision but I hate to see my friend that way. I edited her to the way she initially looked and gave her her name again, I gave her a happy face and a happy position.

I went into studio and I put her with Ella since they were bffs and I wanted her to be happy. In a fraction of a second, Ellen’s hair changed from pink to black, her eyes turned red and hyper realistic again, she had demon wings and demon horns but what scared was that Ella was sitting on the ground praying, she looked hurt and agonized which had saddened me because they were bffs forever. Moreover, Ellen was laughing and was staring directly into my soul. I was sand and confused, I got out of the studio and whent back to the character editing menu but when I clicked on Ellen’s character slot, she wasn’t laughing maniacally anymore, she was holding a knife with wide eyes… “OMG! NO! I NEED TO GO BACK TO STUDIO!”

I clicked on studio as fast as I could, Ella was still praying on the floor while Ellen was holding the knife right in front of her, the text box above her head read (which meant she was talking if you didn’t know) “Good idea putting me here”. I need to stop this, I removed Ella from the studio and I sighed in relief. I removed the knife, changed her hair to its initial pick color, changed her eyes to blue and I gave her a happy face and happy stance :)

I exited out of the game because mom needed me to wash the dishes. When I went back to my phone, I clicked on gacha life and something astonished me. On the main menu where it sais Tap screen to start, Ellen’s hair was black again but this time it had snakes, she had red eyes again and the devil wings and horns came back and she looked like she was raising her left arm in the air. I was traumatized, I Tapped the screen to enter the character selection screen menu and I clicked on Ella to see if she died, but to my surprise she isn’t dead (thankfully) but she looked like she was on the verge of vomiting or she was suffocating I clicked on studio and I saw Ellen choking Ella with her left hand in a blood red background.

She had a thought bubble over her head that said “I don’t like it when you change me”. I thought I removed Ella from the studio but I guess I was wrong, I wanted to change her, and so I did. I didn’t change her that much, I only removed her angry eyes and changed her mouth to a resting one and changed her position to as if she was tripping.

I changed Ella into a kicking stance and angry eyes so I can make her kick Ellen. I’m so cool. Without doing anything Ellen fell to the ground and her eyes closed, Ella said: “Give me a gun and a knife” I was confused but I wasn’t complaining. I gave her the sharpest sword I could find in the weapons section on her right hand and a gun on her left hand.

She wasn’t actually going to kill her, right? Ellen got up, terrified, she was shouting ‘DON’T KILL ME PLEASE” and I yelled: “ELLA! PLEASE DON’T DO THIS”. I went to props and I removed the sword and gun, her facial expression slowly changed from badass to confused in shock. I decided to change her shocked expression with a HAPPY ONE, but it wouldn’t let me… I’m sorry Ella. I went back to studio and her expression was still confused in shock and she said “Why?” I brung Jasmine to make her my messanger I wrote in Jasmine’s speech bubble “Don’ shot her, tell her to leave or she needs to die” Second chances are always welcome :)

I noticed Ellen was smiling at me, Ella accepted my decision and she said “OK!”. There was an advertisement that was loading. It wasn’t a normal one, it was about death and despair. The ad ended and Ellen was gone, Ella had a shocked looked on her face, I left studio to see where she went but to my surprise, she wasn’t there, her character slot had a completely black figure that can’t be edited, the character’s name was “This is not over…”

'''SECOND GLITCH: THE HANNAH GLITCH'''

As you all know, there are Gacha Life characters, there are plenty of them, but today, we are looking for the 66th character, I am talking about Hannah, the little girl in the park, this innocent looking girl, she looks very friendly, we’ll see if she actually is as friendly as people think…

So here we are, I’ve discovered something, a very weird and scary glitch… While I was customizing the character, I went into the “Life” option to play with it, and then something happened… I’ll show you how to enable the glitch. First, pick the sixth slot. Secondly, go to the sixth page. Thirdly, choose Hannah. Here she is… looking friendly. Now follow my steps if you want to experience the glitch.

Click on Hannah and got to the “Body” option, choose height six, choose blush six, choose pose 66, choose the 66th color preset which is “Shamrock” in “Color Presets”, choose pupils 6, choose eye 66, choose eyebrow 6, choose glasses 6, choose mouth 6, choose accessory 6, go to profile and then view profile.

It will appear that every single one of her information is 666… weird, right? I didn’t even change it. To fully enable the glitch, you have to her element into neutral, change her rarity into rarity number 0, change her relationship, personality, occupation all into “unknown”, and rename her name into “Name”.

Now go to the “Life” option again, go to Hannah and give her a gift, now, go to Thorn and give him the same gift you gave Hannah, close Gacha Life for six minutes and go back. Six minutes later, go back to Gacha Life and you will see that something has inevitably changed, all the characters, except for Hannah, are looking down and they are missing their faces, not only that but they have been renamed to 666, and the background is completely black.

As for Hannah, she renamed herself to HannaH, she changed her eyes, mouth, eyebrows, everything to their initial appearance but she still kept the Shamrock color preset. I decided to change one of the characters back to normal, and I succeeded. An ad was loading, I watched it and skipped it, after I skipped the ad, The character that I modified turned back to the way I found him, faceless, looking down and has the name turned back to 666. This is getting creepy…

The screen glitched in the form of red static for 6 seconds, as the static ended, Hannah had a shadow over her face and she was holding a knife. This is not good, I should quit the game. I reached for the home button on my phone but I heard a stab noise. What was that? I checked too see what that was by checking every character. The character who got stabbed was the first one, her name was originally “Carol”. Another stab was heard and another one bit the dust. THEY ARE ALL DYING.

I noticed that her knife was getting bloodier and bloodier, she was killing them. I clicked on studio to stop her but what I saw scared me. Hannah was standing in the middle of the black background, she had a sharp smile on her face, she had grey dry skin, she was covered in blood and she was wearing red clothes and hair. She was surrounded by my characters’ faceless corpses all bloodied and slaughtered on the floor with multiple stab wounds either on their “faces” or on their chest. WTF HAPPENED?!

I reached for the home button again but something stopped me. There was a speech bubble that appeared above Hannah which read: “YOU THOUGHT YOU CAN RUN AWAY?!” My eyes widened. She can talk? She then said: “DON’T WORRY! IT WILL ALL BE OVER SOON!” I wanted to stop this by clicking on her chat bubble and I typed out: “Stop talking like this!”

My message disappeared and on her chat bubble read: “YOU CAN’T STOP ME! FOOL!” Are you challenging me? I wrote on her chat bubble: “Yes I can.”. She said in her chat bubble: “STOP IT!” We’ll see about that. I removed her from the studio.

I really need to fix this. She added herself back and in her chat bubble read: “I WON’T LEAVE UNTIL I KILL YOU!” You won’t get me. I wrote in her chat bubble: “Ok. Let’s see what you will do when I exit the game.” Her chat bubble read: “AM I A JOKE TO YOU? I will kill you… don’t think you can get away this easily. I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!” I realized my screen was getting bloody and red. Another message appeared in her chat bubble: “You don’t need to quit the game… I’ll do it for you.” She then jumpscared me. Gacha Life closed by itself.

A few seconds later, I opened Gacha Life again to see that SHE IS STILL HERE! Everything is cursed… the characters looked like demons, they all had names along the lines of “DEATH” and “RUN AWAY”, the screen was staticky and corrupted, there was blood everywhere, I couldn’t press anything, everything was hyper realistic. I noticed that every second that passes, the darker the screen will get. The screen got completely dark, and the only thing that was visible was text written in blood red: “THERE IS NO ESCAPE”

A few days later, I saw something strange lurking in my files. It was a JPEG named “HIDE” written in Zalgo text. Out of curiosity, I clicked on it and found a picture that traumatized me. It was Hannah, she was covered in blood, she was staring at me, she had hyper realistic blood red eyes and she had a bloody toothy grin. On the bottom there was text in blood red that read: “You are cursed”.

'''THIRD GLITCH: THE ERIKA GLITCH'''

One of my friends told me about The Erika Glitch, although, I don’t remember in detail what they told me to do, so I just did what came to my mind. This was actually really long so I did my best to shorten it.

You can find Erika in presets on page 36, she’s the second one in the bottom horizontal row. So, first, you have to change her personality to evil, the, go to studio with anyone of your OCs and try to talk to her. I chose my OC “Kitty”, I put them both in a living room (in front of the couch), I changed Erika’s mouth from mouth 49 to mouth 2, and I made Kitty say “Hi!”. After that, close Gacha Life, reopen it, go to studio, and you can see that she changed back mouth 49. As you can see, I didn’t leave her like that.

I decided to continue talking to her, I made Kitty say: “Bro, how did you do that?” and I changed her mouth back to mouth 2 again. I closed Gacha life and reopened it, she changed back to mouth 49 again, I made Kitty say: “Please tell me your ways.” Of course, I changed her back to mouth 49 again, closed gacha life and reopened, she changed back to mouth 49 again. I made kitty say: “Is there something wrong?” and I decided to change up somethings in Erika.

I changed her eyes, eyebrows, mouth, weapon, clothes, accessories and shoes, I closed Gacha Life and reopened it, and guess what, she changed back to the way she was. I got very irritated and made Kitty say: “Can you please stop changing your character?” and of couse I changed her mouth to mouth 2. I closed gacha life and reopened it, and she changed back. I got so angry.

I made Kitty say: “Please. I want to make you look pretty.” I decided to change Erika’s whole look, I changed her into a cute girl with long blue hair, blue eyes, headphones and dressed up like Hatsune Miku. I closed Gacha Life and reopened to see if Erika finds her no appearance satisfactory, but to my surprise, she changed back to the way she was. Damn, all that hard work for nothing. I made Kitty say: “Can you change Kitty’s character to make her look like you?” I was curious to see her “evil” personality come into play.

I closed Gacha Life and reopened it, but nothing happened, Kitty didn’t change. Oof. I did this on my friends iPad and something weird happened, but it didn’t happen to me and I will not quit until it does. I changed Kitty’s and Erika’s look just because. I closed Gacha Life and reopened it to see that Kitty kept the way I made her look but Erika still changed to her former self. I got so aggravated and I made Kitty say: “Can you stop?” I changed Kitty’s facial expression to make her angry and Erika’s to make her sad so she can be ashamed of herself or something. I then removed her loliprop and I gave her a cute long hairstyle, and I gave her cuter clothes.

I closed and reopened Gacha Life, to see that ERIKA CHANGED BACK TO THE WAY SHE WAS! WHAT THE HELL?! Out of curiosity, I checked to see if she changed anyone, and what I saw horrified me. My OCs Brody and Ruby were lying on the floor, dead. There was blood everywhere and their limbs are missing. I got melanchollied so I went to studio, there is one thing I didn’t do but with my friends iPad I did, so imam try it.

I tried making her look petrified, by giving her eye 9, coloring it black, giving her pupil 42, coloring it white, giving her pants 5, coloring white, giving her shirt 13, coloring it white, gave her shoes 7, gave her no other, gave her eyebrow 6, gave her mouth 2, gave her blush 0, gave her rear hair 4, removing her loliprop, gave her front hair 61, gave her ponytail 26, gave her ponytail 20, coloring it black, you need to take of the heart from her hand in order for this to work. I made Kitty say: “Please let me change you.”

I closed Gacha Life and reopened it, and guess what, Erika stayed the same way I edited her! YAY! FINALLY! I realized she was changing Kitty without closing and reopening the game. I got so annoyed and I verbally told her to stop, knowing I won’t get an answer, I closed Gacha Life and reopened it, Kitty turned into Erika’s initial appearance. That’s odd. I wanted to mess with her more so I changed her personality into a yandere and I started being mean to her by making Kitty say: “Nobody likes you”. I closed Gacha Life and reopened it. I realized that all of my characters turned into Erika’s initial appearance. I was shocked.

'''FOURTH GLITCH: THE CHAOS IN GACHA LIFE'''

After recording an a gacha life mini movie, I decided to edit my OC named Kinen, since I was going to record another mini movie but with different OCs. Of course, I edited MY main OC who look just like me but the difference is my OC had cat ears, a tail, the left iris is blue, the right iris is purple, my OC’s pupils are pentagrams, my OC had angle wings, stars floating around her, my OC had blue hair, my      OC’s evil, and my OC is not a virgin. Her name is also Chaos, just so you know. As I finished editing her, I noticed something incredibly wrong.

I noticed that Chaos was looking at me. What? I didn’t leave her like that. Feeling uneasy, I changed her back and she was looking in a direction that was not mine, also I gave her pose 115 to make her look as nervous as I do, furthermore, I removed her sleeves to add insult to injury. I also realized that my other OC (based off my brother) was looking at me with an angry expression. I didn’t want onii san to be mad at me so I edit his expression to be a happy one!

After editing Lucas, I went back to Chaos to see if she moved or something, but without a doubt in my mind, she was looking at me. HOW?! Not only that but she had a toothy grin to add insult to injury. I went to studio if there are any subliminal messages, I found one. Chaos’ speech bubble read: “You know I’m psycho not only evil right?” The first reaction that came out of me was: “Nice English, bro!”. No, but seriously, she wasn’t like that, man!

I was panicking, not knowing what to do, I decided to edit her somewhat sad expression to an ecstatic one, and I gave her pose 27 so she can feel delighted in life. I didn’t want her to change back, so I gave her the “calm” personality instead of the evil one, then I verbally said: “Just stay like that.” As if I was training a dog.

I was going to supervise her all day until my bedtime. Oops. I forgot that I removed Lucas’ (the OC not my brother lol)  glasses. I edited Lucas’ glasses back on extremely quick and I noticed that Lucas had 3 scars on his eyes, that wasn’t there before. He was still happy so I shrugged it off. I went back to Chaos to see that she edited herself THAT FUCKING FAST! HOW THE HELL DID SHE DO THAT? I WAS ONLY GONE FOR 6 SECONDS! She no longer looked cheerful, she was crying from the left eye and bleeding from the right eye but it put me on the wrong way. She wasn’t in pose 27 but she was still… smiling?

I clicked on studio and saw Chaos’ sppech bubble read: “I’m a psycho you know that… Or will you delete me soon?” I tried to interact with her by tapping on her speech bubble and saying: “Are you okay…?” my message was replaced by hers saying: “I would be… if you stop.” How can she talk? That’s it, I’ll ignore your threat, and I’ll edit you RIGHT NOW!

I gave Chaos a happy expression again, I went into studio, replaced her menacing speech bubble message by saying: “BE NORMAL!!” I went out of the studio and saw her with a bloodied knife, and blood all over her face, not only that but her eyes are now hyper realistic. I went to studio to stop this. I noticed that my angle OC Lana was kneeling behind her crying blood with a thought bubble over her head that read: “Don’t cry or you die.” She was standing by Chaos who was very close to the camera, and she had a  speech bubble that read: “I am… Or are you scared?” I think she was replying to my “BE NORMAL!!” message.

I was like: “OMG! LANA!” I didn’t know what to do, so I typed in Chaos’ speech bubble: “I thought you were fine with the change…” COME HERE LANA I’LL CHANGE YOU BACK! I made her happy and removed her from studio. I exited the studio to see if everyone else is OK. First, I wanted to check Kinen but I realized she was in a different pose that I put her in before, and she seemed… emotionless… I looked at Lucas too, but he seemed scared, as a matter of fact, they were ALL scared, well, everyone except for Kinen. Why are they all scared but she’s not?

I went back to studio to see what was going on, I was surprised. Lana was back there, no longer having that happy expression that I gave her, she was kneeling and she was crying blood, there was a thought bubble above of her head that read: “Don’t cry or you die” again. Chaos was inches away from the camera with more blood on her face and on her knife, she looked threatening and had a speech bubble on her head that read: “So… Do you really want this sharp knife in your hallow heart?” HOW?! WHAT?! WHY?! I noticed in the corner, Monika, my fox OC, informing me with a concerned face: “Stop making her angry.” I noticed something odd popped up behind Chaos, it’s, like, an eviler version of herself.

I didn’t have time to waste, so, I changed everyone’s scared expressions into neutral ones, and I definitely edit Chaos back to her former self. I then thought, maybe her Japanese form makes her turn evil, so I changed her back to her normal American form. I clicked on games by accident, I went back to see that everybody looked… dead. There was a lot of blood.

I went back to studio to see that Chaos was covered in Lucas’ blood, Lucas was floating beside her and he is nothing but skin with blood, his muscles, inner organs, and skeleton have all turned into mush. There was that eviler demon version of Chaos right behind her again. “Go on letzte photos” Chaos verbally said with her staticky voice. She can talk now?! “Why?” I said with fear in my voice. “Because I have a surprise…” she said sarcastically. A surprise? I love surprises!

Nevermind about the surprise, since I knew she was deceiving me, I decided to change her back to the way she was the first time. I went back to studio and said: “You can be my little psycho IF you stay like that.” She then grew a demon eye in her left eye and bled out of her right eye, “JUST GET OUT OF GACHA LIFE AND SEE MY SURPRISE!” HOW?!, “Fine…” I said in defeat.

I exited Gacha Life and I was surprised to see that my profile picture was replaced with Chaos’ Japanese forming eating Lucas’s corpse. I went back to gacha life, “WHAT DID YOU DO?!” I yelled from the top of my lungs. “Do you like it as much as I do?” She said. “OF COURSE NOT!” I screamed. I’ll just make her into a bad girl with awful smoking habits and leave, never to return to this damn game.

'''THE FITH AND FINAL GITCH: THE RETURN OF GINA'''

There was this glitch that revolved around this character, who is a preset, named “Gina”. She holds a broom, but when you are editing her in any category the broom gets replaced with a sword. People have been saying that it’s because the broom color is based on the prop color and you can’t change the prop color unless the character holds something. The sword is item 1 so the developers chose that. Gina holds a sword so the broom can be pink, but I think otherwise.

Before preforming the glitch, I wanted to change the outfit of my female OC, CJ, and so I did. While I was checking to see if my OCs were okay, I noticed that one of my OCs, Hazel, had green insect eyes with a toothy grin. I was weirded out, I remember giving her sugoi eyes and a cat smile. So I wanted to see if Adam, my other OC, was okay since he tends to “freak out” often, but he was normal, I went back to Hazel to figure out what is going on, but she went back to normal… Ummmm…okay? I shrugged it off and I assumed I was seeing things.

Then, I went back to Adam, I saw he was holding a gun, had a demon eye, demon wings and horns. Oh my God… I, subsequently, clicked on CJ to cancel out Adam’s episode. I went back to see that he still was a demon. I rapidly switched between CJ and Adam, so he can end his horrible frequent episode. What the fuck? It won’t work? How did it work this easily with Hazel?

I decided to edit Adam, and change him back, and it was successful. I looked at Adam, he was normal. I looked at Hazel, she was normal too. My other two OCs, Clark and Lara, looked different. Lara had entirely purple eyes while Clark had blue demon eyes and he was holding a sword instead of an ice cream cone.

I switched between Clark, Lara and Sarah to cancel out their demonage, and it worked. I wanted to try something, since Lara was a cat girl, she only had cat ears but not a cat tail, so I gave her a cat tail, and I made her look excited. I put her in a white background in studio and I made her say: “I HAVE A TAIL!” I cheered myself up.

Well, that cheerfulness didn’t last long, because when I exited studio, she had demon eyes and she was holding a knife, not only that, but her tail is gone. I went back to studio and her speech bubble now said: “I WILL KILL YOU!” I was confused… I gave her a fucking tail and she wasn’t grateful?! Damn bastard. I changed her eyes back and removed the knife AND I didn’t give her tail, since that angered her.

I went to edit CJ and give her a sad look on her face and apologize to Lara, just to see what happens. I went into studio, and moved Lara to the side and put CJ in the middle, I wrote in CJ’s speech bubble: “Lara, I’m sorry.” After a fraction of a second, I saw Lara approach CJ and they hugged it out. Lara’s speech bubble read: “I forgive you!” Okay… now this might be overwhelming but it’s steal creepy because I didn’t tell them to do anything.

I exited the studio, and I saw that CJ and Lara stopped hugging. I checked on Adam and I noticed that he was looking up with sparkly eyes and a happy smile. What? I switched between CJ and Adam and he turned into his demon form again but this time he was covered in blood and he was holding a bloody knife.

I switched between CJ and Adam again and he changed back to the sparkly eyes and the happy smile. Okay…? I went to Hazel and saw that she has a duck beak on her mouth, someone please tell me if this is my imagination or not. Okay that’s it.

So… I left Gacha Life for a while because I had to talk to my therapist, but when I went back on, IT SCARED ME TO HELL! They were all lying on the floor, covered in blood, some are decapitated, some of their limbs are dismembered. Are they all… DEAD? Then I realized: “Wait… WHERE DID CJ GO?!” oh no.

CJ was replaced by Gina… I went to studio and saw Gina in a black background saying: “I’M BACK!” I never thought she would haunt me… Why me? Why? Why? Maybe I should take a Gacha break…

Okay, so, those are all the glitches for this first part, there will be 5 more in the second part, so stay tuned for that, my lovely cupcakes!
