In an alternate timeline before the user comes into the story [of this universe], Alex is stuck in a loop seeing his friends repeatedly die by a malware corruption. He's resorted to using a system restore point to reset Xavier's PC and start again...by brute forcing his way into the file (worlds) his trapped friends are in but always ends up failing to save them from the virus.

Meanwhile, Xavier watches in the real world behind the screen laughing and taunts him every time he fails. However after several attempts…Alex eventually snaps from being taunted for so long. He retaliates by taking over control of the computer and opens up an mp4 file. Alex then corrupts it, giving Xavier a jumpscare in the form of an epileptic seizure inducing video before performing another system restore.

With Xavier’s mockery now out of the picture, Alex then hacks the PC to find a password to enter the worlds his friends are trapped in…only to find out he’s too late. The victims he finds always end up being surrounded by the malware virus, which prevents Alex from going any further, sending him back to another system restore point and doing the password unlocking process all over again.

So after the insanity of seeing them get corrupted and being unable to rescue them from data erasure, he eventually resorts to "saving them" with a gun.
