A recent upload to social media platforms has captured widespread attention, featuring a uniquely unsettling creation within the popular sandbox game, Garry's Mod. The video, titled "Abraham Lincoln GMOD Virus," plunges viewers into a player's tense encounter with a custom-designed, highly distorted digital rendition of the 16th U.S. President. This virtual Abraham Lincoln is depicted with glowing red eyes and a menacing, gaunt appearance, creating a stark contrast to his historical image. The gameplay unfolds in a desolate, urban environment, where an eerie atmosphere is punctuated by in-game chat messages from another player, "Sora," repeatedly typing "Lincoln," building suspense. The climax of the video delivers a sudden and effective jump scare as the monstrous Lincoln figure appears, followed by a simulated system "Restarting..." screen. The unsettling experience culminates with a static-laden image of the "Lincoln virus," accompanied by the chilling, anachronistic text, "Four score and SEVERED your soul ago." The video's creator, known as Swaggerigi, openly stated, "I made Abraham Lincoln virus," confirming the original nature of this viral in-game entity. Since its upload on October 7, 2025, the video has rapidly accumulated over 367,000 views and 32,000 likes, demonstrating its significant impact and appeal within the gaming and broader internet culture. This phenomenon underscores the creative and often bizarre content that continuously emerges from the dedicated Garry's Mod community.
