This is an AU where Chell dies in the bottom of aperture. Wheatley somehow finds a way to run the facility without it blowing up. He goes in search to find another test subject and happens to find Romeo in an overlooked cryogenic storage room and makes him Wheatley's test subject. Romeo refuses to do tests after a while and attempts multiple escapes. That's why its called playing his game. They are both trying to play each other in their own game.
