[Archived] Can pop-ups appear from games

After I launched osu today, I alt tabbed to chrome to do something. I realized that anything I typed into the search bar was automatically deleted, as if something was holding down the backspace key, this also happened in osu and windows so it wasn't just chrome.

I was confused but went back to osu to play, but as I hovered over the game on the taskbar, I realized there are two previews and it wasn't just the game. There was a pop-up on the osu icon that said something along the lines of "You are not alone, I am watching..." I was shocked and quickly closed both the tasks before reading into it or taking a screenshot. Is this a malware on my computer or some kind of easter egg/prank from osu? If it is a malware, I did not know that it can disguise as another program.

The backspace issue fixed itself after I replugged my keyboard but I am still confused about the pop-up.


Here is an example of what I am talking about:




Imagine the chrome was the osu icon since I am unable to replicate the pop-up. There was a small rectangle next to the icon indicating two previews, the one on the left was the normal client and the suspicious pop-up was on the right.


Any help is appreciated.

It's possible for maps to do something to cause a pop-up message like this.
One of the Aspire maps does it, I assume whatever map you played or have does the same thing.
