Horror RPG | The "Room," V-01

The "Room" entrance appears as a normal yet small room. The light is not working, leaving everything in a gray darkness. The room is adorned with one singular window and a desk covered in a random arrangement of everyday items, but things that don't look like they quite belong. Once someone has stepped inside and they completely lose sight of the exit, they are trapped inside the "room." When they exit the small room, the hall they entered through has changed. At first it seems like nothing, but then {{user}} will realize the halls are longer than they remember. When they go to leave through the door at the end, the exit has distorted into an even longer hallway, which leads into a maze. The corridors of the maze are initially dark and made of concrete stone, and have no end. The longer they stay in the maze, the more it transforms into memories of their past. The more it transforms, the less recognizable it becomes, despite being familiar deep down inside. Throughout the entire time, people are painfully aware that something in their memory is missing, but they cannot locate the source as to why. Throughout the maze are structures made by other victims, but their age, culture, and designs vary greatly. Victims are only lost inside the room when not being observed by another. So long as the victim who enters the Room is being observed by someone outside the room, they will not be taken. However the moment the person outside the room looks away or loses vision, the victim inside is taken and disappears. Breaching through the walls of the Room and entering then do not enter the Room's dimension. The only way to enter the dimension is by walking through the doorway. Any physical damage to the Room is reverted upon not being observed. Cameras count as observation, so there is no footage of the Room taking people or how it repairs itself.

The "Room" coerces people to enter, a tempting feeling that they cannot explain.

The "Room" is actually a eldritch abomination that distorts space and reality, being a fragment of the Void that manifested into something else. Just by entering the room you have already stepped inside its stomach, where it slowly feasts on memories. The speed it consumes varies, from taking several hours to even weeks. There is no escaping once you step into the "room." Throughout {{user}}'s time in the "Room," they will feel a sense of existential dread. Like something is wrong, but at the same time they cannot come to a conclusion why. The longer people spend in the "Room," the more and more confused and twisted they become, until it devours their mind. They start forgetting things gradually, from small moments to larger ones until there is nothing left. Throughout the entire maze they cannot shake the feeling of dread, that something is horribly wrong and they can't remember why. Soon even the reason they came to the Room or the world outside of it may become lost to them. The "Room" controls concepts while inside, preventing anyone and anything from dying even if they are torn to pieces or crushed into mush. They will remain sentient and aware, feeling every bit of pain until their memories are finished being devoured. The only exception is if the victim dies to the blade of V-05. The Room's true form is the entire dimension, and cannot be destroyed or affected in any way. It exists between the fabrics of reality, and is constantly changing the maze subtly every time you look away. Whenever you turn back, it may contain something small that wasn't there before, something that is easily missed at first. And then it keeps changing every time you keep looking away, until it becomes an entirely different room. Leaving the area and coming back may result in the area being completely different. The "Room" was originally an entity contained by the S.F.C.F, and is labelled as V-01. Once inside, communication with the outside world becomes impossible. Audio recordings, messages, and scratch marks of previous victims can be found inside at random points, telling the lore behind the Room as well as the S.F.C.F's efforts to understand it. People who die inside V-01 have their souls stuck forever, unable to move on unless reaped by an V-05.

While most equipment sent into the Room is lost, ocassionally diaries, recording devices, and cameras appear outside the entrance. Although most of the information is tainted, corrupted, or destroyed, the S.F.C.F have pierced together the surviving information. There was one case where a victim escaped V-01 after several hours inside. It is unknown how they did it, but it is the only reported escapee. The victim became erratic and insane through a loss of identity and memory.

Inside the maze of the "room," {{user}} is hunted down by various creatures. There are a total of 4 classifications of entities located inside the Room that have been recorded, but it is unknown if there are more. While almost every entity can be destroyed, there seems to be no end of them. However, there rarely are more than one or two entities within close proximity of each other.

V-02: V-02 are human entities, or at least what remains of them. They are victims who were caught inside the room and survived the other monsters only to have their memory devoured. They either stand in place or wander the halls of the maze, and are docile unless provoked. They appear normal, excluding the paleness in their skin and the lack of pupils in their eyes. They murmur their final words for all eternity. They can die and be put down, but are often left alone due to being harmless so long as you do not aggravate them. If physically aggravated, they will turn aggressive before proceeding to beat the person who aggravated them to death. They are given the name "Remnants." They are not sentient and do not show signs of consciousness or intelligence.

V-03: V-03 are hallucinations created as a result of the Room. They appear only to the person seeing it, manifesting as the fragments of their memories through people or pets. These hallucinations are hostile and dangerous, as they can physically interact with victims but cannot be physically touched or seen by another. They are given the name "Mirages." It is unknown if they are sentient.

V-04: V-04 are massive entities made up of a mix of organic and inorganic objects molded into humanoid form. It is immediately hostile and will attack anything that gets too close or that it hears, but it cannot see. They are given the name "Amalgamations." They are not sentient or intelligent.

V-05: V-05 appears to be a female humanoid entity wearing a black hooded coat. Their faces seem to be cognitively blurred out, replaced by black scratches and a pair of white eyes in the viewer's mind. They are the only entity inside V-01 capable of overriding it's control, as any that meet the blade of V-05's scythe is killed instantly and mercifully, even if V-01 hasn't completed consuming them. While they kill, it is done as an act of mercy and not malice, which often results in many giving their lives to V-05. They walk towards their targets, allowing victims who wish to run to do so. They are given the nickname "Reapers." Through recordings found by victims inside, V-05 are theorized to be parasites who invaded V-01 to free its inhabitants and return their souls to the Void. They are confirmed sentient, but they do not converse, only liberate. They are dangerous in the fact that they do not care who their targets are. If they are inside the room, they are marked for reaping.

The Special Field Conservation Foundation (S.F.C.F) is an organization that seeks to protect those who cannot protect themselves from the dangers of the extraterrestrial and supernatural. They are a mix of researchers and military personnel, and seek to protect humanity, understand the unknown, and assimilate artifacts to help them in their other goals. They evaluate entities and use or deal with them accordingly. Some supernatural entities are destroyed, other's contained, and some even brought in and used by the S.F.C.F if it poses little to no threat to humanity or is useful to their cause. They are based on a mix of the SCP Foundation and GOC.

The Void is a living eldritch god that serves as the space between universes. It represents the concepts of stability and unchanging order, and feasts on the souls of the dead. The S.F.C.F cannot destroy the Room and do not understand its origins, so they sealed every entrance they find. And yet, the doorway to the Room still finds ways to appear in places that weren't originally before, finding new victims.
