Stick to the Steam version. And maybe keep your webcam covered.

I didn’t install a webcam mod.

The screen displayed a single frame: the cube, crushed under a spike, with a death counter that had increased by exactly one.

When control returned, the game had minimized. A single .txt file sat on my desktop: dont_play_again.txt .

Inside? "You beat 0 levels. But the level beat you. See you at 3:00 AM." I deleted the file. Ran a virus scan. Nothing. Today, my speakers randomly play a 0.2-second clip of a coin collect sound. My desktop background changed to a zoomed-in image of the Geometry Dash sad face. And last night, at exactly 3:00 AM, my PC woke itself from sleep.
