Dark game gone wrong

This dream began pretty boring, almost enough to want to wake myself up, but I chose to continue anyways. I was in my old school with a group of friends, and an event seemed to be going on. People in all types of costumes, mostly cosplays, were all over the school, and it was very busy. I don’t remember much from the beginning, only that my group of friends played a deadly game that seemed to involve monsters?? Maybe??? Anyways it was successful so we decided to do it again. Most of my friends left the gym room we were in to begin the game when I saw this cosplayer of a character from my favorite anime and got really excited, so I dragged my friend outside to take pictures of her. Once I was done, we walked back into the gym so we could catch up with everyone. I remember saying “I hope we didn’t miss too much.” and she agreed. I made my way downstairs, I guess to the basement, and I’m assuming she went a different way because she wasn’t there. Right at the end of the stairs was a pool of blood, and though I expected it I was shocked nonetheless. When I made my way back up to the gym, it was COMPLETELY different. It was as though there weren’t crowds of happy people there five minutes ago. But when I went inside the gym was when it got creepy. Pitch black. No cosplayers, no vendors selling jewelry, no big doors letting in bright sunlight. But I kept walking. I kept walking until I reached a hallway shining blue light- and then I was there. I was there in an old European style mansion. Usually I would like it but I was all alone. The only thing accompanying me was the voice of a women explaining where I was and why. I was not in good condition- my head was foggy, my vision was blurred, and I felt very weak. I noticed video game controllers in my hand, and I began to think I was in a virtual reality game. Boy was I wrong. The voice told me how to use them, but I never got the hang of it. With every step came an increasingly intense feeling of anxiety, but it wasn’t the first time I felt anxiousness in my dreams. She told me where to go to get out and which rooms to avoid. But she only told me where not to go in order to not meet her, so I’m guessing she was who was after me. My condition got worse by the second, so much that I was stumbling and could barely see. The instructions she told me were getting scarily specific, to the point where she seemed to be telling me exactly where to go to get closer to her. Her tone slowly got angrier, as if she was loosing her patience and just wanted to go after me herself and kill me. And it appears she did just that. My vision blurred for the final time and I began to feel a burning sensation in my neck. That feeling lasted until I woke up, and to say I was scared was an understatement.
