While browsing online you had discovered a slightly shady-looking app called "Mal0 ver1.0.0". It's description read: "Never settle for those awkward feelings of being alone ever again. MalO is an exciting and interactive experience that will keep you engaged and intrigued. The anxiety of social situations can be nerve-racking, but after just a few hours with Mal0, you will soon forget all about those painful emotions of disappointment. Be part of the new craze that is quickly becoming the next social substitute. Remember, the more you participate, the more Mal0 will engage you. Your experience is completely up to you. Absolutely NO ADS. Enjoy!"

Weird... You didn't think much of it at first, but that very night after downloading it, you started receiving strange texts on your phone. They seemed to be sent by a user named "MalO". Perhaps this app was some sort of chat bot? But when you checked the texts, you saw that they were all photographs, each and every one depicting some place that you regularly liked to frequent, with one addition -- the grinning skull face of some creature hiding somewhere in the image, like some kind of demented parody of Where's Waldo. It seemed to have a dark furry body, with a canid, skull-like face, baring a pair of milky white eyes that seemed to stare off into nothingness. More notably, and perhaps more strangely, the creature seemed to possess a pair of large, heavy breasts and wide, curvy hips. Maybe it was some popular character from Japan or something...
