GCSE Language Paper 1 PLAGIARISM

hi! i had my English Language Paper 1 today, and for the prompt it was ‘write a story based on a day where technology stopped’. It reminded me a little of a video game i’ve played Fallout 4 (for some reason) and so I basically copied the start of the game but tweaked a few things to make it shorter (but still used some of the names of the characters!). Can I get in trouble for plagiarism?

Nah, dw abt it you'll be fine it's normal to get ideas from video games books things like that, you'll be totally fine.

They are testing your skills more than ur content really, so honestly dont stress also it's only really plagarism here if u copied large chunks of texts but as u said u tweaked bits and made it shorter so you'll be fine.

How was the paper tho?!
