With mounting horror, Jenny notices that the piece for the Shadow Man is a perfect image of Julian. There are also the added danger of the Creeper (an enormous snake), the Lurker (a large wolf) and the Shadow Man, an entity akin to the Sandman, who brings nightmares rather than dreams and sleep. However, the main obstacle to the players will be nightmares: each must face their worst personal nightmare in order to progress. The objective of the game is to have the paper doll pieces representing each player get to a turret at the top of the miniature structure. Upon returning home with the game, against Jenny's better judgment, at the party she, Tom and their friends open and assemble the game, which resembles a small haunted house. As she leaves, in response to Jenny's "See you later", Julian ominously states "At nine".
Entranced by it and encouraged by Julian, Jenny buys it and departs. Unnerved by him, she seeks to leave, but the boy entices her with his words and soon withdraws a blank "glossy" box, stating that this is what Jenny is seeking. Here, she is met by Julian, whose striking and strange beauty startles Jenny. Luckily, she is able to locate a partially hidden game store, appropriately named "More Games", in an unsavory part of town. The Hunter introduces Jenny Thornton, a young teenager who is seeking to purchase a game for her boyfriend, Tom Locke's, birthday. Julian has a particular fascination with Jenny, as he has been in love with her since she was a child, and seeks to use his games and schemes to erode Jenny's resistance and make her his own forever. However, the game she buys turns out to be more than anyone expected, as it very soon comes to life at the behest of Julian, who is in fact a supernatural entity: a Shadow Man who brings to life the worst nightmares of those he targets. In need of a game for her boyfriend Tom Locke's birthday party, she is enticed by a mysterious young man with "electric" blue eyes and snow-white hair, Julian, into purchasing an unmarked and undecorated game from his "More Games" store. The Forbidden Game focuses on the character of Jenny Thornton, a seventeen year old girl living in southern California.
