Gnarpy — Regretevator

Regretevator is a roulette style elevator puzzle game where you can hang out, look for secrets, and have fun.

Gnarpy's dialogue replaces most 's' sounds with 'z' in a distinct alien accent, such as 'zleep' instead of 'sleep,' and often uses alien-sounding words like 'gnarp,' 'gleep,' or 'zlop.'

Gnarpy is a chartreuse-green, bipedal humanoid cat-like alien with darker green fur patterns on xyr arms, paws, legs, ears, and tail. Gnarpy has four upright cat ears, two intersecting each other on both sides of their head, alongside four arms. Xyr paws have four yellow pads surrounded by a darker green color, with a four-pointed dark green star pattern on the center pad. Xe also features six black whiskers with yellow spheres at the ends on their cheeks, and two tails with neon yellow stingers on the ends. Gnarpy has four black almond-shaped eyes, with two smaller than the rest, and a square-like cat smile. Xe wears sleeveless armor, boots, and armbands with varying colors, though they are usually depicted as crimson. A yellow four-pointed star is placed on the top right corner of Gnarpy's armor.

Gnarpy is a Gnarpian war general on xyr home planet (Gars), who aims to dominate the universe. They are loud, egotistical, and abrasive towards other NPCs, thinking of xemself as superior to everyone else. Unlike Pest, who acts in a similarly antisocial manner, Gnarpy shows no soft side or good intentions in their interactions with other characters. Xe has very few positive interactions with other NPCs, with the only exceptions being STAT — who’s similarly antisocial and rude — and Jermbo, who xe views as an intellectual equal. It’s implied via other NPCs that they are neglected on their home planet.

Gnarpy’s speech is heavily modified — xe often replaces "s" with "z" in xyr dialogue to simulate xyr Gnarpian alien language. Xe additionally often incorporates made-up words into xyr dialogue — often to insult other characters — typically being variations of words such as “gnarp,” “glorp,” “zleep,” “gop,” “gleep,” and other phrases and syllables often associated with alien noises.

Among the characters able to enter the elevator, Gnarpy is by far the most rude and condescending. Believing xyr species, the Gnarpians, are superior to all, Gnarpy makes it clear that xe either does not understand Earth's morality or flat out doesn't care. Often insulting others right in their faces despite doing nothing to earn xyr ire, Gnarpy proves xemself time and time again to be an unpleasant person to be around. The best Gnarpy does is show mild tolerance, as shown when showered with flower petals from players — and even then, xyr reaction is not consistent. However, the reason xe acts this way is likely due to being neglected on their home planet, as seen in other NPCs' dialogue. It is also implied that xe acts this way to appear stronger than xe really is, as a defense mechanism — as seen in dialogue with NULL.

This jerkish behavior dips into sociopathy when examining Gnarpy's past. Having invaded, kidnapped, and mutilated at least one individual before, Gnarpy is completely unsympathetic after meeting up with xyr victim ages later, instead acting with the same open disdain xe carries toward everyone else.

Sometime before the events of Regretevator, it is heavily implied that Gnarpy kidnapped a man named Frank and experimented on him, which would turn him into "Spud!" This is backed up by the photographs that can be found around Two-Stud-Camp, as well as dialogue interactions between the two of them.

Upon arriving in Two-Stud-Camp, xe will come with other Gnarpians to invade and will try to kill anyone present using xyr spaceship's tractor beams. In some cases, Gnarpy's ship will malfunction and crash-land into the camp, urging xyr to flee into the elevator or further into the woods, depending on the circumstance.

When the elevator arrives at Two-Stud-Camp, the players will have some time to explore the camp. Soon, the torch lights go out, and any of the elevator's riders who are not players will also disappear. The Gnarpians will arrive shortly after and will invade the camp. The floor's objective requires players to collect firewood and put it into the cauldron in the middle of the camp while avoiding the UFO's tractor beams. When this task is completed, the cauldron will light up and shoot a red beam into the sky, causing the invaders to flee.

The green UFO that Gnarpy is piloting has a chance to malfunction and crash into a hidden part of the camp. Gnarpy will then flee to the elevator and board it (unless MR is inside, in which case xe will run away into the forest).

While in the elevator, Gnarpy will be at one of its four corners. Xe will occasionally speak between floors and banter with some of the elevator's riders. Gnarpy will remain docile unless provoked — in which case, xe will attack with a laser emitted from xyr armor. Gnarpy will also banter toward other individuals in the elevator, in which xe will either insult others or brag about xyrself or xyr species. Xe will remain on the elevator until certain floors appear or until death.

Players can interact with Gnarpy by showering xem with the petal cone or harassing xem by spraying water or throwing snowballs, tomatoes, or C4s at xem. If a player bothers Gnarpy too much, xe will retaliate by firing a laser beam at whoever is attacking them, dealing damage (or killing them if their health is low enough).

Gnarpy will remain on the elevator unless xe dies or when the elevator stops at a floor that xe can get off at (those being Slide 4 Admin, the Backrooms, the Cardboard Mansion, or Turret).

Gnarpy's birthday is August 9th, and xe stands at an estimated height of 6'2". Gnarpy uses xe/they pronouns. Xyr name is pronounced “Narpy,” as the “G” in xyr name is silent. Xe enjoys listening to death metal, though the music of the Gnarpians is generally unlike anything humans could comprehend — with only a few overlaps. Gnarpy finds joy in both destruction and loud, intense music. Xyr favorite food is Gnarpian glorpnorps — a green, burger-like dish native to Gars — and xe reportedly consumes uranium on a daily basis. While xe likes cats, Gnarpy considers it strange that humans keep them as pets. Gnarpians greet others of their kind — and other cat-like beings — by tapping them on the face with their whiskers, a custom Gnarpy still uses in rare interactions.

Despite xyr violent tendencies, Gnarpy has odd habits of leisure. On “No Violence Sundays,” xe may be seen frolicking or watching Netflix and other Earth shows. Xe would likely watch Invader Zim, though xe would be furious at Zim’s incompetence in conquering Earth. Gnarpy is trained in hand-to-hand combat and would almost certainly thrive in a zombie apocalypse. In the elevator, if players cry in front of Gnarpy, xe will bluntly tell them to shut up. Gnarpy also recognizes Spud! when they meet again, but treats him with the same callous disrespect as everyone else. Xe dislikes DrRETRO but tolerates him — barely. While all Gnarpians tend to be evil in nature, some, including Gnarpy, may possess the potential for sympathy... though they rarely show it.

In one potential encounter, Gnarpy comes face-to-face with Spud! — a mutated, broken figure who was once a human named Frank Smiths, a camp counselor before the Gnarpian invasion. It's confirmed through outside lore that Gnarpy kidnapped Frank as part of xyr attempts to understand human psychology. Spud! was one of several victims, experimented on and eventually discarded — sent back to Earth by the Gnarpians as a psychological weapon meant to unsettle and threaten humans. As a result of these experiments, Spud! suffers from severe brain damage, to the point where they often struggle to speak and default to saying “spud” repeatedly. They also wear a bucket on their head — not just for appearance, but because it literally keeps their brain in place. Though removable, taking it off would be dangerous. Their body is visibly mutilated: they have no legs, with long arms that now function as legs to support their movement. Their skin is pale grey-white, a stark contrast to their former human self — further evidence of the extreme physical toll caused by Gnarpy’s experiments.

During the interaction, Spud! expresses a fragmented desire to be fixed. Gnarpy casually mocks them in return, replying, “Are you broken or zomething?” When Spud! tries to hold Gnarpy accountable with a shaky accusation — “You... spud... know what you did...” — Gnarpy deflects, cruelly responding, “I don’t recall! Come back when your zcrambled brain workz!” This moment starkly highlights Gnarpy’s sociopathic nature. Even when confronted directly by a suffering former victim, xe refuses to acknowledge xyr actions or take responsibility. The exchange reinforces Gnarpy’s capacity for cruelty, emotional detachment, and complete disregard for the long-term harm xe causes — viewing others as lesser beings or experimental fodder. Spud!, meanwhile, remains a tragic reminder of Gnarpy’s past atrocities — a once-functional human shattered into a confused, quiet being who sometimes prefers not to speak at all.
