At first it all seems normal, every now and then a random sound effect is replaced by ominous hooting. Every hour, on the hour, a green owl flashes on the screen for a frame or two, it's eyes boring into you before vanishing. Once every 50 or so times it pumps your volume up, selects speakers as output and let's loose a screeching hoot. Random popups slowly ramping up "Restart your streak today", "Where did you go?", "Duo misses you". At first just once or twice a day, but steadily increasing in intensity till it's one every 23 seconds.
