   Overview Grand Magasin Sisyphe is a colossal shopping mall not present in the real world, accessed only through experiencing death, the most common method being through the Sisyphe Penalty, in which the person is hanged and their mind is sent to Sisyphe. The bodies of individuals that underwent the Sisyphe Penalty are stored in vats in the Sisyphe Tower in N Corp. There is no conventional way to exit the department store.

   The department store itself almost entirely constitutes of clothing shops, with some sub-areas also selling food or furniture. All commodities for sale within Sisyphe are derived from human materials.

   Workings within Sisyphe largely adheres to a system of autotelic consumerism imposed upon its inhabitants: physical access between floors depends on the quantity of currency (human eyeballs) cumulatively spent by an individual. Due to this, a social hierarchy based upon how "fashionable" an individual is has formed within Sisyphe.

   Inhabitants within Sisyphe all display various degrees of Distortion. Those who completely lost reason are referred to as "Mannequins". Notably, not all changes to the form within Sisyphe are due to Distortion: a Giant may "define" certain classes of individuals as "Furnishings", for example, and their forms and desires will change accordingly.

   Two main factions have formed within Sisyphe: Le Rouge and Le Noir. They are competing "brands" of clothing that display distinct and opposite designs and philosophies. Customers unaffiliated with any brand are known as Le Kaki, and are treated with great contempt and hostility by those belonging to the aforementioned brands. Other neutral parties exist

   Ataraxie Using a N Corp. Canned Suicide Booth to enter, they find themselves in the Magasin Sisyphe's restroom where a mysterious woman resembling Demian resides, and soon after exiting, a hooded figure quickly revealed to be Kromer's older sister, who wants their help in tearing the Grand Magasin Sisyphe down completely before vanishing.

   As the Sinners search for Meursault, the woman in blue somehow intervenes, separating the Sinners and only allowing two at a time to accompany Dante in each floor. As Meursault is the only one who entered the Magasin through conventional means, he is the only one fully capable of interacting with the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, and it is up to him, guided by Dante, to fulfill the various missions given to the group by the various customers. Whenever Meursault dies, the woman in blue uses her powers to undo the death.

   Another Giant named Jeanne, who is revealed to have been Meursault's former lover, also helps guide the Sinners, while always taking the chance to discuss the past with Meursault.

   Eventually, the Sinners become involved in the feud between the two warring factions of the Sisyphe, Le Rouge, who seek to extract the power of the Golden Bough from the cracks of the mall, and Le Noir, who wish to maintain the Golden Bough within, due to the fact the Golden Bough was being used as a replacement for the former faction's Voice. The Sinners side with the Noirs and attempt to stop the Rouges from creating a new Voice, during which Dante learns that Meursault's mother seemed to have been seeking death due to the nature of the Sisyphe, and begged her son to free her. The newly born God is slain, which results in the downfall of the Rouges and the Noirs gaining complete control of the Sisyphe, the stability resulting in everyone inside turning into tree-like beings as Carmen narrates this fate. However, time seems to be rewound.

   Bon Appétit Arriving back at the Fount, only Dante, Meursault, and the Lady in Blue are the only one who fully remember what happened following the Noir's victory, while Ryōshū only has a feeling something happened due to her awareness of time. It's also revealed that Kromer's sister is also aware, and implied that she and the Sinners have been encountering each other for a while before the seeming first go around. The only true difference is that Meursault still carries with him the piece of the Crimson God the Sinners slayed last time, with it carrying the voice. Its revealed by Jeanne privately that whenever the Sisyphe is incapable of producing any more Canned Experiences for any reason, "Liquidation" occurs and resets everything to beforehand by erasing everyone's memories. This is why the Prestige rank and items bought last time are not lost. Also, the Lady in Blue telepathically warns Dante not to tell the Sinners of the Liquidation, lest "the sunshine" falls upon them.

   Thanks to the flesh, the Sinners are able to get into the Rouges' good graces and they agree to help them give birth and take their newly born Crimson God - a child named Pwie to the fifth floor's "Restaurant", making an enemy out of the Noirs as a result. Pwie is likewise aware of what occurred last time, but even so, they walk with the Sinners and takes in their lessons and experiences as they scale the Magasin. During this, Carmen contacts Dante through the light shining through the wall, but Meursault severs the connection just as quickly, and its revealed that he once made contact with Carmen in the past-but despite the promises she offered resonating with him, he resisted out of hatred for what Carmen did to his mother-and him likewise being forced to kill her to spare her becoming a Distortion. It's then revealed that as a result of the Golden Bough being used to replace the Rouge Giant, Carmen's influence has created a third faction-the Néants, and creating more Distortions and apparently even Abnormalities in the Magasin.

   Eventually arriving at the Restaurant at the fifth floor, but unable to access it, they are told by Kromer's Sister that the only way to enter is by up wearing clothing made by Golden Resin, which Pwie decides to be a "Golden Shroud". The group then travels across the floors, taking bits of the Golden Resin from the important Managers to create this Golden Clothing, but the last piece needed is the Golden Cocoon that Pwie named Wriggley and treats like a companion. They are upset at the thought of having to sacrifice it until their hunger takes over and eat it. In their despair, they consign themselves to becoming the Rouge's Voice and God. With the Golden Shroud in hand, the Sinners fight their way through the Noir blocking the way into the Restaurant. Once there, Pwie enters a cocoon and begins to feast as the Noir descend. The Noir Brand Director warns that allowing the Crimson God to mature will result in it consuming everything, which Dante realizes will result in another Liquidation. Even so, they follow through with the choice, despite the regret, with Meursault's full answer being drowned out by the attacking Director. After killing her, Pwie, now going by their true name "Buffet", fully awakens, and states they have no need to go any further, and being born from the wishes of others, beings to feast upon everything as the Rouges take over. A now gigantic, yet still and forever hungry Buffet and Rouges take over a now depleted Sisyphe as another Liquidation occurs.

   Giants Giants are the three (formerly four) individuals who are tasked with the maintenance of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe. They hold great power over reality within the department store, and is capable of appearing to any given area or individual within Sisyphe as a "Voice", which they use to manipulate customers to create religious followings. The death of a Giant has a profound impact to the Grand Magasin Sisyphe. For example, the death of Meursault's mother caused numerous cracks to appear in the walls of the building, along with the nullification of a mechanism reviving any deceased customer within B1F of the store.

   After the death of Meursault's mother, the remaining Giants were forced to use a Golden Bough as a replacement to her seat. This directly resulted in the appearance of a golden substance within the cracks left from the death, alongside the gradual Distortion of its inhabitants.

   Le Noir is one of the two major clothing brands within Sisyphe. Their attire is black with golden accents, and often wear masks and top hats. Their philosophy involves the preservation of fashions and the Grand Magasin, which reflects in their constricting clothing design.

   Overview Throughout the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, members of the Le Noir manage several storefronts known for their restricting fashion, aimed at exalting the owner from any worldly connections. The group follow after a Voice, the enigmatic Chaplain. Several times throughout the Sinners' stay in the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, they heard the Chaplain speak directly to members of the faction, ordering them to take action regarding others.

   The group's guiding philosophy revolves around the fanatic protection of the gold emerging from the cracks within the building, a byproduct of the Golden Bough lodged in place of Meursault's mother's post as a temporary support. As the Wing never found a replacement, the cracks spread, causing the gold to have a place to fill. The Le Noirs view this gold as something worth protecting, directly playing into the culture of their fashion and guiding ideology.

   Ending A: Ataraxie With the death of the Crimson God at the hands of the Sinners, the Le Noir faction became the sole remaining major faction within the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, marked by the collapse of their rival faction. Their desire to preserve Grand Magasin Sisyphe for eternity caused every single Noir to eventually distort into tree-like shapes, upholding the foundation of the department store.

   Route B: Bon Appétit The Noirs launched a premature attack on the Crimson God's cradle, but were unable to break through. After the god was born as Pwie and accompanied the Sinners, the Noirs learned of this and made numerous attempts to kill the new god. The Brand Manager's final attack on Pwie's cocoon in the Floor 5 restaurant failed, and the god emerged into maturity as Buffet. The Rouges took over and devoured the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, leading to another Liquidation.

   Le Rouge Le Rouge is one of the two major clothing brands within Sisyphe. Their style is heavily organic, resembling human muscle and bone. Their philosophy involves a nonstop change of fashions and the self.

   Overview Throughout the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, members of the Le Noir manage several storefronts known for their gruesome displays of fashion and art. The group follow after a Voice, one of the long-dead Giants of Grand Magasin Sisyphe who was the mother of Meursault. After her death, her voice was kept on repeat for the group to listen to, giving them something to continually chase after.

   The group's guiding philosophy revolves around the 'Golden Hide' emerging from the cracks within the building, a byproduct of the Golden Bough lodged in place of Meursault's mother's post as a temporary support. As the Wing never found a replacement, the cracks spread, causing the gold to have a place to fill. The Rouges, intrigued by this, gained the philosophy of harvesting the Hide from the cracks and using small amounts of it in the creation of their fashion.

   With the death of their Voice made known―something revealed to them by the Sinners―they begin a new plan of renovation, allowing them to create a new Voice, one known as the Crimson God. This creature was planned to fill the void, though it was killed soon after being forced from its egg.

   Le Noir Brand Manager Gender: Female Status: Alive A hulking figure, clad in pristine armor colored in the faction's signature black and gold. Her helmet features a complete obfuscation of her face, with two branching sets of gilded horns sprouting from the sides of it. Her body features an immensely thin midsection, connecting down into a set of four legs, giving her a body similar to a centaur's. She wields an oversized hammer in combat. While the Sinners were battling their way through the Luxury Hall in search of the new Voice the Rouges planned to create, the Chaplain suddenly spoke, prompting the Le Noir Brand Manager to arrive as support. In combat, she battled the Le Rouge Brand Director, killing the rival leader. After the Sinners were able to make it to the inner hall and kill the Crimson God, the Noirs became the dominant group of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe.

   Gustave Gender: Male Status: Determinate Gustave StandingSprite.png Gustave is a elegant individual, wearing an outfit with a black-and-gold palette. Atop his head is a rectangular top hat, while the top half of his head is obscured by buckles that wrap around his cheeks. His mouth is left visible. White, straight hair hangs from the sides of his head, tucked neatly into the mask in the back. He carries a dark cane, with a gilded top. Gustave was first encountered as the Sinners enter a Le Noir storefont. There, Gustave ignored them, viewing them as lesser due to their minimal standing. After the group explored the shop briefly, the Voice of the Chaplain pushed the the vendor to confront the Sinners, assuming them to be similar to Le Rouges in their act of stealing gold from the cracks of the building. After a brief battle, sense was knocked back into the man, causing him to relinquish his hostility towards the group. After this, he acted as a merchant.

   Four-legs Gender: Male Status: Deceased Four-legs, as decreed by those of higher standing of Le Noirs against their subortdinates, is a man forced to walk on four legs, emphasizing a dramatic connection to the dirtied world beneath them. His body is largely nude, with his face and feet being obscured by a dark mask and shoes respectively. His arms are wrapped behind his back. Encountered on an upper floor of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, Four-legs was meant to greet the Sinners into the storefront he worked at. However, after the group entering, the man forgot to do as such, prompting One-leg to scold the man for his failure. Four-legs, downtrodden, spoke to the Sinners, introducing them to the shop and details involving it. The conversation shifted to life and death within the building, with Four-legs being informed that those within the Grand Magasin Sisyphe no longer revive at the bottom floors. Realizing death is now permanent, the man wished to be killed by the Sinners, forcing their hands by attacking the group and being slain by them

   Naked Gender: Male Status: Determinate A tall man, wearing an outfit customary of the Noirs composed of several overlapping pieces of fabric, buckled against the entirety of his skin. His face is fully obscured, with his black hair being the only major detail visible: it is worn in a long, straight dressing, with straight bangs across his forehead. A member of Le Noir who was first in line for Golden Dye from Palette when the Sinners become at want of it. He hoped that the Golden Dye would help alleviate him to the fifth floor, and thus wasn't willing to trade his spot in line for eyeballs. However, he did agree to trade it for L'Incolore, a deep-sea dye of similar value which is only visible to those who are pure of heart. The Sinners managed to acquire this through assisting Palette, where it was also revealed that the dye is actually invisible for everyone. Through Outis pressuring Naked into pretending that he could see the L'Incolore, he still agreed to exchange for it, sending the LCB on their way with the Golden Dye. After this, he acted as a merchant. Through the player's choosing, this character can be optionally killed.

   Trivia: Naked's quest is based on "The Emperor's New Clothes", a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen in which a vain and gullible emperor is tricked into buying clothes that are invisible and imperceptible to stupid people, eventually parading around town completely naked.

   Umar Gender: Male Status: Alive A man of heightened stature, Umar wears a suit customary of the Le Noirs, with his face fully obscured by a dark mask. Down the center of the mask, a single golden stripe connects from the top of his head to the bottom of his chin. A dangingly piece of gilded jewelry is attached to his right ear. As the Sinners find their way to the Luxury Hall within the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, they are met by Umar, who blocks the entrance alongside a litany of smaller Le Noir members. Soon after meeting them, he realized the Sinners have the pass from One-leg, allowing them entrance to confront the Rouges present and slay their newborn god.

   Flannel Appearance Flannel is a slim person with straight blonde hair and golden eyes. They wear tailored clothing in the style of Sisyphe's Noir fashion, consisting of a taupe suit over a gray dress shirt and black tie, a matching jacket, and black dress shoes. They also don an angular top hat, and their face is partially covered by a black and gold leather mask, which reveals their right eye.

   Personality Like many Noir members, Flannel carries an air of superiority about them, looking down on customers who are not sufficiently well-dressed. Regardless, they pay great attention to the future of the Maison's brand, and are willing to ally with the LCB to further their goals.

   Story Flannel is first met by the Sinners during their exploration of the third floor of Grand Magasin Sisyphe. Together with Felt, they ask the group to help them boost the exclusivity of their brand by eliminating some of their customers. After the Sinners fulfill this request, the two offer them an Authenticity Certificate that testifies their loyalty to the Noirs. Later on, the two guide the Sinners into obtaining the spine of L'Inamovible, a Rouge member who had undergone Distortion.

   Felt: Appearance Felt is a slim person with straight black hair, whose body is entirely covered. They wear tailored clothing in the style of Sisyphe's Noir fashion, consisting of a taupe suit over a gray dress shirt and black tie, a matching cape with golden detailing, and black dress shoes. They also don black gloves and an angular top hat, and their face is covered by a black and gold leather mask.

Later on, the two guide the Sinners into obtaining the spine of L'Inamovible, a Rouge member who had undergone Distortion.

   One-Leg Appearance One-leg is a very tall woman with light gray skin and darker gray hair. Her hair is straight and well-trimmed, with bangs and two thin strands that fall down past her shoulders. Her golden eyes, small and sharp, are punctuated by golden eyeliner. The garb she wears is that of a Le Noir member's, made of dull browns, golds, and blacks. It features an eye-catching black headpiece with shapely golden trims that cover her chest and lower face. Her sleeves and pants are both striped, with the former being particularly massive. The top is split, hanging more like a shawl than a dress, and goes to her feet in the back but only to her knee in the front. True to her name, One-leg also possesses only one prominent leg, fitted with a tall black boot with many gold clasps.

   Personality One-leg has a sharp, demeaning manner of speaking. She sees herself as someone at the top of the food chain due to her singular leg, and believes she has every right to treat many-legged individuals as her inferiors. The Le Noir member otherwise isn't one to express very much, showing no shock or remorse at the death of Four-legs and failing to demonstrate any particular passion toward her job at Footwear Hall. Though willing to treat the Sinners politely after discovering that they are allies of her faction, this only consisted of some straightforward back-and-forth without any pleasantries.

   Story One-leg was first encountered by Dante, Meursault, Don Quixote, and Hong Lu upon their entrance into Footwear Hall, where she was seen berating Four-legs. She left shortly after, to which Four-legs lamented his position and clarified with the Sinners that if he died he would never get to start over again, a conversation that ended with the LCB putting him out of his misery. Afterward, Four-legs mocked her dead subordinate and criticized the LCB for their unwanted presence. She then engaged in battle with the group, intending to make them leave by force, until they presented her with the Le Noir Authenticity Certificate they'd received from Felt and Flannel. This was enough to make One-leg concede, giving the two factions the opportunity to share information about the state of Le Rouge. Once the Sinners stated that they were allies of Le Noir, One-leg agreed to let them purchase shoes from her so long as they continued to update their side on relevant facts.

   Meursault's mother Appearance Meursault's mother appears to have pale skin and greenish-black hair with a widow's peak. She wears a black turtleneck with a silver necklace.

   Personality Characteristic of her son, Meursault's mother seems to have been a woman who valued the self and their current state of being. In Miracle in District 20, Meursault also notes that she used to scold him when he was young. Like the other Giants, she fears "the final nothingness" and finds no escape from being watched by her own gaze.

   Story Prior to Limbus Company Meursault's mother raised her son not to rely on his memories, but to form his own experiences and reflect on those. She worked as a Giant at the Grand Magasin Sisyphe during her life, where she came to be worshiped as a Voice by the members of Le Rouge.

   Three years prior to the events of Canto X: The Gaze Bearing, she fell into an extreme panic over the unbearable presence of something in her life, during which she begged Meursault to kill her. He took her life as he was asked. The event was massive news in N Corp., and led to a sales boom in the familicide genre of Canned Experiences. Because no suitable replacement could be found for the Giant, a tape recorder was set up on the third floor to continue transmitting her voice to those inside the Magasin Sisyphe, unbeknownst to them. With her passing, death became permanent for everyone inside the department store, and the building itself began cracking. A Golden Bough was installed to take her place, which spread through the walls and introduced the Golden Hide into the space.

   Canto X: The Gaze Bearing During their time in the Magasin Sisyphe, the Sinners unraveled the mystery of why the Voice L'Inamovible is enraptured with will no longer say anything new to her, and then began to spread the news of Meursault's mother's passing after removing the relevant audiotape.

   Buffet: Appearance In Route A, Buffet (referred to as The Crimson God) is a gangly figure of exceptional stature covered in underdeveloped, slightly transparent flesh, through which its bones and organs can be seen. A cloth-like piece of tissue covers the majority of its face, with the exception of its crying left eye, with its brain partially visible through the thin flap. A halo-like ring of flesh grows from its head, with the appearance of thick veins. It has four arms, with the upper two holding a dangling piece of tattered tissue which takes the form of a cape. Its umbilical cord wraps around its torso and is held in its bottom right arm, while the end is lined with barbed teeth. Its bottom left arm is notably overgrown, with sharpened claws unlike the rest of its hands.

   In Route B, Buffet initially takes on a much more childlike form named Pwie, resembling a young child with white hair, two horns, and wearing a white tissue resembling a dress, with one sleeve hiding their arm and red accents. Their other hand is shown to be completely red and stretched out, same as their feet.

   Personality The Crimson God features little of its own personality, given only a brief time to get its bearings in life. As such, it is largely disoriented and violent, thrashing out against those around it. It carries a mimicry of a personality from an unknown source, singing a lullaby one would sing to a child. While it battles, it attacks indiscriminately and brutally, showing no real understanding of technique nor particular aim in actions.

   As "Pwie", they're initially quite timid and skittish, speaking only in sounds. Only when they became more comfortable, they began speaking, revealing that they remember the events of the Ataraxie Route's climax.

   Story Deep within the Luxury Hall, the Rouges conspired to birth a new god, one which would replace the repeating voice of Meursault's long-dead mother. This god would provide them with the purpose and drive they were lacking on, which prompted plans to birth this new Voice. In their fanaticism, they began to renovate the Luxury Hall, marked by a slaughter of Noirs within. At its apex, this allowed them to finalize renovations to best accommodate the young god within its egg.

   Ataraxie In Route A, while the Sinners traversed the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, they were ultimately drawn to the presence of the Luxury Hall as the primary interest. While initially denied entry, they found their way in through allying with the Noirs, who assisted them in combat against the Rouges. With the destruction of the enemy faction, the Sinners pushed onwards, finding the egg within the hall, one which held the gestating Crimson God. With a holy weapon in hand, Dante gave the order to pierce the egg, releasing the god before its readied time. The god, spilled from its chambers before it was ready, came out malformed and confused. In its confusion, it battled the Sinners, struggling to get its bearings straight. While it attempted to defeat them, it was unable to best the group and was mortally wounded. With its last breaths, it repeated a lullaby, one which ended with the god's death.

   Due to the failure to create a new Voice to follow, the Rouges fell into disrepair: no longer possessing a unifying body to serve under nor many surviving elite members. With this, the Noirs secured complete domination of the building.

   Bon Appétit In Route B, the Sinners instead assisted the Rouge in birthing their new god. This god was born in the form of a small, timid child. The dying Le Rouge Brand Director asked the Sinners to take the new god to the restaurant on Floor 5 of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe. The child initially showed fear towards the Sinners, but was forced to follow when, at Heathcliff's proposal, the party pretended to abandon them.

   After reaching floor 4, Hong Lu asked for the child's name, to which they responded 'Pwie'. Pwie then followed as a constant companion to the Sinners through the floors, assisting the Sinners in combat in both the Symbolic and the Shadowed, and frequently inquiring about the Sinners and the surroundings.

   Arriving at floor 5, the Sinners found that they were denied entrance to the Restaurant by a translucent barrier. Kromer's Sister informed them that they would require more "nobility" to enter, which in turn called for clothing made from Golden Hide. Pwie requested a shroud made from Golden Hide, which required the party to find a way to the hidden Floor B3.

   On floor B1, the party's dealings with the Sous Chef led them to recover the larva for the Golden Cocoon, which Pwie took a liking to and named Wriggley.

   The party fought their way past the Noirs on floor B2 looking for the Rouges' new god, and arrived at B3, whose leatherworkers guided the party to retrieve Golden Hide from the higher floors and processed it into the Golden Shroud. However, the final ingredient required was Wriggley. Torn between their affection for Wriggley and their urge to ascend to floor 5 and fulfill their purpose as the Rouges' god, Pwie was eventually compelled by instinct to devour the cocoon alive.

   Upon reaching the restaurant table back on floor 5, Pwie fell into a slumber and turned into a cocoon that began reaching out to devour the food around it. The Sinners fought off attacking Noirs trying to destroy the cocoon, including the Le Noir Brand Manager. Pwie re-emerged as the adult Buffet, and stating that they had no need to go any further, began to devour all the food about them. The Rouges were cast into a feeding frenzy that led to the collapse and Liquidation of the Grand Magasin.

   Le Rouge Brand Director Gender: Female Status: Determinate Brand Director StandingSprite.png The Brand Director of the Le Rouge, an oversized skeletal body with a set of eight legs connecting to a torso with a boa of veins. The torso carries a head with a serene expression, with braided hair and blunt bangs. The sides of her head are ornamented with hearts. Working in the Luxury Hall of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, the Brand Director was first met while "renovations" are underway, marked by a massacre of Noirs at the hands of the Rouges. While they initially deny Dante and the Sinners from entry, the group later finds entry. During this period, however, the Brand Director was organizing the creation of a new Voice for them to follow, through the creation of the Crimson God. The Sinners, alongside the Noirs, were able to push back the group via the assistance of the rival group's own brand manager. In combat, the Le Rouge Brand Director was slain, ushering the collapse of the entire faction.

   Mimosa (Shopkeeper) Gender: Female Status: Determinate Mimosa StandingSprite.png A member of the Le Rouges, wearing the customary veiny outfit of most generic members of the group, with long black hair flowing from behind her mask. During Meursault's initial reception into the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, she accompanied the man while holding him for storage. After Dante and their group kill a few Mannequins for her, she allowed the Sinner to return to Dante's side. After this, she acted as a merchant. Through the player's choosing, this character can be optionally killed.

   Quillian Gender: Female Status: Determinate Quillian StandingSprite.png A tall, elegant woman, with dark hair worn in a middle part. The sides of her head feature bone-like structures on each side, ornamenting the shape of her head. Her skin is flayed into a fleshy, red dress, pooling on the floor. While exploring the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, the Sinners briefly met Quillian, discussing matters while getting their bearings straight. Quillian, common of her faction, obsessively discussed her fashion and aspirations for her future standing. Due to the Sinners' assistance in acquiring a needle she would require for her new emerging fashion trend, she assisted them in understanding the building. With the needle, she pierced her own face repeatedly as a sign of her new fashion trend. After this, she acted as a merchant. Through the player's choosing, this character can be optionally killed

   Ionesco Gender: Female Status: Alive Ionesco StandingSprite.png Composing a tall figure, Ionesco's head and shoulders have been primarily transformed into a single portion, connecting down to her hips.

Her right eye is a black button, while her left is a larger, round human-looking eye with a striking gray pupil. She has thread for a nose and a twisted smile.

She is very straightforward in conversation and quick to decide on what she wants, at which point she refuses to be talked out of it, and may try to acquire what interests her by force. Despite this, she has a sense of fairness and is willing to barter.

   Story Prior to Limbus Company Sous Chef has worked with Boucher in the Magasin Sisyphe's Food Court on Floor B1 for an indeterminate amount of time. Her role has been to use the ingredients in Boucher's storeroom in order to flavor the Meat Soda they produce.

   Canto X: The Gaze Bearing Dante, Meursault, Gregor, and Faust ran into Sous Chef upon entering the Food Court. After the Sinners explained that they wanted the Golden Cocoon in her possession, she agreed to give it to them in exchange for Gregor's insect arm. Because Dante had a bad feeling about cutting it off, they refused, leading Sous Chef to engage them in battle for it. After she lost, she ran away, to which the Sinners chased after her. A new deal was then struck: the LCB could have the Cocoon if Sous Chef was allowed to lick Gregor's arm three times. This was permitted, and Sous Chef subsequently introduced the four to Boucher. Boucher requested they acquire a "Ruminations of the Prey" from elsewhere on the floor, which doing finally earned themselves the Cocoon as Boucher peeled it off one of the larva in his stock for them. Sous Chef concluded the interaction by offering them a Meat Soda on the house, which Gregor and Faust chose to taste.

   Boucher: A black humanoid figure with no features other than a large, sharp-toothed smile. Boucher is the Floor Manager of Floor B1 at the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, and encountered in the Food Court, where he works with larva and other untraditional ingredients alongside Sous Chef. She is the one who introduces him to the Sinners, after which Boucher requested they acquire a "Ruminations of the Prey" from elsewhere on the floor. Once they did, Boucher traded them a Golden Cocoon for it, and the Sinners left having acquired what they needed.

   Appearance Palette is a humanoid with light gray skin and large, heterochromatic eyes, with her right eye being yellow with a blue iris and her left eye being blue with a pink one. She wears a massive collared shirt, jacket, and skirt of a dull brown shades, all of which conceal most of her figure. The skirt is pleated, with certain sections extending into tattered strips that splay out onto the floor. Her hair is a mass of thick blue clumps that flare out in every direction, most of which traces through the air behind Palette in a cloud-like shape. Her entire body is covered in splotches of blue, yellow, and hot pink paint.

   Personality Palette has a somewhat blunt, dry manner of speaking with a sense of humor that compliments her monotone voice. With a responsibility toward her customers yet a willingness to chat nonseriously with them, she comes off as both committed to her work and easy to talk to. The Dyehouse worker is very open to helping those who need it, but values all of her customers the same, sticking to the line order and preventing her sister from issuing any threats.

   Story In order to create Golden Skein, Dante, Meursault, Outis, and Ryōshū were instructed to procure Golden Dye from Palette. Upon meeting her at the B2F Dyehouse, the Sinners were informed that they were place 1217 in line to receive Golden Dye. During this conversation, Palette ordered Putty to be nice to their customers, and suggested that the LCB go talk to the person first in line to trade for his share of dye. After discovering that the individual first in line would trade them his Golden Dye for L'Incolore, they went back to Palette for it. She offered to make it if they acquired the necessary dye for her. They did, which Palette then used to create and send them off with the L'Incolore, but only after poking fun at the group for being unable to see the dye that was supposedly only visible to those pure of heart.

    Annette the Alterationist is a tailor working within the Grand Magasin Sisyphe. There, she accommodates any that seek her out work. She is a supporting character introduced in Canto X: The Gaze Bearing

    Appearance Annette is a woman of average height with a body visibly composed of stone, cracking and decaying along her entire body. She has a serene expression, always seen with her eyes closed. The left side of her head is concave, decaying into a series of flowers along its edge with branches reaching out from within. Her hair is a pale blonde, worn in a neat bob. Her left arm is broken at the elbow with branches connecting the two halves; her right arm is similarly attached, though her forearm is little more than a sharpened point, one half of a set of scissors. Her body extends down into a shattered, stony dress with ornamentated scissors lining the hem. She stands on a single fine point composed of the same material as the rest of her body.

    Personality Annette is deeply focused on all matters involving clothing, frequently noticing details on others' outfits while speaking to them, shown most prominently as she repeatedly speaks of Sinclair's uniform and its shoulders. She is a gentle speaker, exhibiting little stress at the exceedingly large workload in front of her. She chooses to make no alliances among the social climate of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, working solely towards the growth of her art. She is an inquisitive person, aiming to explore what she can in the pursuit of inspiration for her works, going as far as peering into Meursault's mind out of curiosity.

    Story Prior to Limbus Company At some indeterminate point in the past, Annette arrived in the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, where she took up work as an Alterationist. She paid heed to any that sought out her work, choosing no side in the conflict between the the Rouges and the Noirs and rather working for both as requested.

    She was previously not the one that managed the post she occupied by the time of Canto X; another Alterationist―known for their intense dedication―worked the area, though relinquished the duty to her as they left to chase after the Voice after the emergence of the gold that grew in the cracks of the building.

    Canto X: The Gaze Bearing The Sinners, upon arriving to a new floor of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, quickly noticed the presence of snipping sounds. Dante, joined by Meursault, Sinclair, and Outis, chose to investigate the noise, leading the group to meet Annette, the Alterationist working in solitude. After brief introductions with one another, the group found Annette's works to be too expensive for them, though she offered her service in place of any work they may seek out.

    When the Sinners were prompted to pass Two-piece, who blocked a path deeper within, Sinclair and Outis came to the plan to sever the two halves using one of Annette's scissors. The woman accepts the request, at the payment of looking into Meursault's mind. Opening the man's skull, she "finds" a hidden portion which she allows to remain in place, choosing not to disturb it out of respect while finding inspiration within the man. Thankful for the ability to do so, she left the Sinners with a pair of her scissors to use as they like.

    Two-piece Gender: Unknown Status: Deceased First Appearance: Canto X: The Gaze Bearing Two-piece StandingSprite.png Two thread entities acting as one who were paid by Felt and Flannel to block the way to their shop on the third floor. Two-piece speaks in a distinctly strange, confusing manner that frustrated Outis and Sinclair into deciding to cut them in half with Annette's scissors

    Happy Closet Gender: Unknown Status: Determinate First Appearance: Canto X: The Gaze Bearing Happy Closet GMS Portrait.png A tall, limbless figure whose only features are a "head", a brain where its face should be, and a slit running down its body. It is immobile, and cannot communicate in any way. When approached, it unfurls its body, revealing an assortment of human body parts and organs. The Furnishing residing in its hall interpreted this as an act of generosity, and took from its collection of body parts to decorate themselves. The Sinners took from it multiple times to satisfy the demands of the Furnishing. As the Sinners returned to it to offer their thanks, the Furnishing descended on it, unhappy with the amount of decorations they had taken from it, and knocked it over as they began to take everything it displayed, leaving only its heart. This, too, was taken and divided among the Furnishing, killing Happy Closet. Trivia: Happy Closet's quest is based on "The Happy Prince", a short story by Oscar Wilde in which the statue of a prince asks a swallow to give the parts of his body to the poor, until all that's left is the prince's broken heart.

    B2F Floor Manager Gender: Unknown Status: Alive First Appearance: Canto X: The Gaze Bearing B2F Floor Manager StandingSprite.png The Floor Manager of Floor B2 at the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, encountered in the Skein Nest. They take the form of three wrinkled humanoids, though they are considered one being. In order to spin a Golden Skein from the Golden Cocoon offered to them by the Sinners, the Floor Manager asked that they acquire Golden Dye from Palette. Once they did, the Floor Manager began weaving the Skein, which required the LCB to fend off the King of Needleworks in the process. Dante, Meursault, Outis, and Ryōshū ultimately left with the Golden Skein in their hands. Trivia: The B2 Floor Manager is based on the Moirai, the personification of Fate in Greek myth. The three are portrayed as sister weavers, whose duty was to decide the destiny of humans by respectively spinning, measuring the length, and cutting the threads of their lives.

    Overview Grand Magasin Sisyphe is a colossal shopping mall not present in the real world, accessed only through experiencing death, the most common method being through the Sisyphe Penalty, in which the person is hanged and their mind is sent to Sisyphe. The bodies of individuals that underwent the Sisyphe Penalty are stored in vats in the Sisyphe Tower in N Corp. There is no conventional way to exit the department store.

    The department store itself almost entirely constitutes of clothing shops, with some sub-areas also selling food or furniture. All commodities for sale within Sisyphe are derived from human materials.

    Workings within Sisyphe largely adheres to a system of autotelic consumerism imposed upon its inhabitants: physical access between floors depends on the quantity of currency (human eyeballs) cumulatively spent by an individual. Due to this, a social hierarchy based upon how "fashionable" an individual is has formed within Sisyphe.

    Inhabitants within Sisyphe all display various degrees of Distortion. Those who completely lost reason are referred to as "Mannequins". Notably, not all changes to the form within Sisyphe are due to Distortion: a Giant may "define" certain classes of individuals as "Furnishings", for example, and their forms and desires will change accordingly.

    Two main factions have formed within Sisyphe: Le Rouge and Le Noir. They are competing "brands" of clothing that display distinct and opposite designs and philosophies. Customers unaffiliated with any brand are known as Le Kaki, and are treated with great contempt and hostility by those belonging to the aforementioned brands. Other neutral parties exist

    Le Noir is one of the two major clothing brands within Sisyphe. Their attire is black with golden accents, and often wear masks and top hats. Their philosophy involves the preservation of fashions and the Grand Magasin, which reflects in their constricting clothing design.

    Overview Throughout the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, members of the Le Noir manage several storefronts known for their restricting fashion, aimed at exalting the owner from any worldly connections. The group follow after a Voice, the enigmatic Chaplain. Several times throughout the Sinners' stay in the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, they heard the Chaplain speak directly to members of the faction, ordering them to take action regarding others.

    The group's guiding philosophy revolves around the fanatic protection of the gold emerging from the cracks within the building, a byproduct of the Golden Bough lodged in place of Meursault's mother's post as a temporary support. As the Wing never found a replacement, the cracks spread, causing the gold to have a place to fill. The Le Noirs view this gold as something worth protecting, directly playing into the culture of their fashion and guiding ideology.

    Common of a wide margin of residents within the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, the Noirs are undergoing Distortion, with their severity depending on a case-by-case basis

    Story Prior to Limbus Company The group formed at some indeterminate point, obsessing over the prospect of fashion and design. Through this, they have become one of the four major groups composing the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, notably rivalling the presence of the Le Rouge faction.

    After Meursault's Mother's death, they began to follow the practice of protecting the golden shards pulled from the cracks of the building.

    Canto X: The Gaze Bearing During the Sinner's stay in the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, they interact with a litany of Noir members across the floors, assisting or battling them as the situation evolves.

    Ending A: Ataraxie With the death of the Crimson God at the hands of the Sinners, the Le Noir faction became the sole remaining major faction within the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, marked by the collapse of their rival faction. Their desire to preserve Grand Magasin Sisyphe for eternity caused every single Noir to eventually distort into tree-like shapes, upholding the foundation of the department store.

    Route B: Bon Appétit The Noirs launched a premature attack on the Crimson God's cradle, but were unable to break through. After the god was born as Pwie and accompanied the Sinners, the Noirs learned of this and made numerous attempts to kill the new god. The Brand Manager's final attack on Pwie's cocoon in the Floor 5 restaurant failed, and the god emerged into maturity as Buffet. The Rouges took over and devoured the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, leading to another Liquidation.

    Annette the Alterationist is a tailor working within the Grand Magasin Sisyphe. There, she accommodates any that seek her out work. She is a supporting character introduced in Canto X: The Gaze Bearing

    B2F Floor Manager Gender: Unknown Status: Alive First Appearance: Canto X: The Gaze Bearing B2F Floor Manager StandingSprite.png The Floor Manager of Floor B2 at the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, encountered in the Skein Nest. They take the form of three wrinkled humanoids, though they are considered one being. In order to spin a Golden Skein from the Golden Cocoon offered to them by the Sinners, the Floor Manager asked that they acquire Golden Dye from Palette. Once they did, the Floor Manager began weaving the Skein, which required the LCB to fend off the King of Needleworks in the process. Dante, Meursault, Outis, and Ryōshū ultimately left with the Golden Skein in their hands. Trivia: The B2 Floor Manager is based on the Moirai, the personification of Fate in Greek myth. The three are portrayed as sister weavers, whose duty was to decide the destiny of humans by respectively spinning, measuring the length, and cutting the threads of their lives.

    Appearance The Overseer is a towering and an extremely thin being that is, unlikely most residents of the fashion-centric Grand Magasin, completely naked. While his arms, legs, and chest are incredibly thin to the point of showing the outline of his bones, on his back is a large carapace similar to that of a beetle, ableit also made of stitched flesh. Upon his back are numerous faces of Tanned Prisoners embedded within the carapace, which are capable of being both pushed into himself for mental processing power, as well as pushed out as fodder for combat. His real face, however, is the circular mask in the center of his form, with 3 evenly spaced holes in the center that represent his eyes and mouth.

    Personality The Overseer speaks in a two-toned robotic manner. The first half of his speech are minimalist, lacking articles and pronounces, but spoken in a relatively standard tone of voice. Following these sentences, he will interject with booming more akin to a computer's output than a more human sentence. Beyond his manner of speaking, he views the sentient members of B3F as his children.

    Story Prior to Limbus Company The Overseer has been the floor manager of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe's B3F for an indeterminate amount of time.

    Canto X: The Gaze Bearing Ending B (Bon Appetit) The Sinners, looking for someone in B3F who would be able to fashion a garment of Golden Hide for Pwie, encounter the Overseer. He explains that in the past they used to have an abundance of the material available to make such a garment, but in the present there no such materials left in the Leather House. To acquire the necessary materials, the sinners are instead sent on a fetch quest to visit numerous residents of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe and retrieve their Golden Hide through any means necessary. Once the sinners return with the materials, the Overseer then sends them off to get fitted at the tannery, and subsequently get the outfit cut and stitched. Once the garment is finally completed by the Nurturer, he becomes enamoured by the beauty of the garment, and with greed overwhelming him, he attacks the sinners in order to keep it for himself. Thus, they are forced to kill the Overseer in order to claim their hard-earned garment for Pwie.

    Appearance Heinrich Kromer, as 'the Hermit', dons a very large, loose black cloak that conceals her figure. She wields a long, twisted black nail as tall as her with silver branches sprouting off near the head. With her hood off, her pale face with gray eyes, slit pupils, and prominent eyelashes is made visible. Her hair is parted down the middle with a sharp widow's peak, where more of it falls in thick clumps past the right side of her head, and reaches just above her shoulders overall. The hair is light gray with yellow accents along most of the ends. A single stray strand also falls over her forehead, to her chin.

    Her uniform as a One who Grips is rather ornate. She wears an oversized white cap with a red brim adorned with gold plates and a golden laminar gorget, with loose white shirt decorated with golden ropes, a red, floor-length cape and an ankle-length pleated skirt with star-shaped button, atop which are golden plate armour and two identically-coloured belts. The upper half of her body is adorned with red Inquisition wax seals and ribbons on her shirt, cap and cape. Her right forearm and leg are protected with silver engraved armour, whereas her left leg appears to be a naillike prosthesis.

    Like her sister, her right hand is exposed, revealing long red nails, and in it she clutches a gold, gradated nail enwrapped in ribbons and topped with a red gemstone.

    Personality Like her younger sibling, the older Kromer approaches the world with a playful-yet-demeaning attitude. She does whatever she pleases, placing little importance on those around her, to the point of disregarding any negative opinions of her and not caring at all about her little sister's death. Though able to restrain herself from tormenting those who go against her intolerant beliefs, she also shares Kromer's deep hatred of prosthetics. Unlike her, however, Kromer's sister appears to exercise more patience and isn't as preoccupied with causing distress in her current playthings.

    Upon learning of Distortions killed when Maurice activated the Sisyphe Tower's incinerator, Kromer flies into a rage, screaming and cursing at the Chaplain while lamenting the human lives lost.

    Story Canto IX: The Unsevering After a meeting of N Corp.'s Board of Directors, it's stated that Heinrich Kromer and Jacob had begun their preparations for the Malleus Maleficarum.

    Canto X: The Gaze Bearing Route A: Ataraxie Heinrich Kromer first ran into the Sinners on the first floor shortly after they'd entered Grand Magasin. She interrupted their conversation to engage in casual, demeaning chatter with them, during which she described herself as the "Hermit" and explained that she wants to see the Grand Magasin deconstructed. After being recognized as a member of the Kromer family, she was excited, continuing to lightly tease the group without any concern about their murder of her younger sister before eventually disappearing very suddenly.

    Later, she ran into Dante, Meursault, Outis, and Ryōshū on floor B2. There, she gave them a quick sense of direction, teasing them some more, and then left by walking through the wall. She met them one more time after the group succumbed to Blackthread, resulting in another exchange of the same caliber.

    Route B: Bon Appétit After the Grand Magasin's first Liquidation, the Sinners' first encounter with Kromer played out again similarly, although Dante, now conscious of the events repeating themselves, noticed slight differences in her behavior that convinced them that Kromer, too, remembered the events of the previous loop.

    Unlike the first run through the Magasin, Kromer did not appear again when the Sinners reached floor B2.

    Appearance Alongside being of immense size, Jacob's silhouette is accentuated by their gilded armor, worn covering their entire body with a crest of gold standing on their helmet. The front of their helmet is composed of several sheets of gold plated over one another, creating small slits between each. They wear wide, golden pauldrons which connecting to fabric across their back, cascading into a flowing, red cape. Their gauntlets and chest piece consist of similarly gilded metal. Several gold braided belts are worn across their waist, connecting into long faulds, reaching their calves. Beneath the faulds, they wear a white robe primarily consisting of overlapping scripture, with red cloth hanging in the center. They wear a pair of heavyset sabatons on their feet. Their entire body is covered in seals and scripture, customary of those within the Inquisition faction. They are shown to utilize a gilded nail, one which has a bloodied point. Three similar nails flank them on each side, appearing to float behind them.

    Personality Jacob is a stalwart individual, rarely speaking during their time accompanying Heinrich Kromer. On the rare occasions they do speak, they are exceptionally blunt, typically only responding to the directions of others. Though they show minimal reaction or response to most stimuli, their ideals align primarily to that of the Inquisition, viewing prosthetic users of the City as subhuman due to a supposed rejection of humanity. Despite working alongside Heinrich, their goals do not entirely match, with Jacob showing an acceptance over the incineration of many of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe's Distortions, knowing that the released smoke and rain would result in a furthering of the goal aligned to the New League of Nine Littérateurs.

    Story Canto IX: The Unsevering Following the events of Canto IX, a meeting was called for the N Corp.'s Board of Directors to convene, aiming to discuss matters involving Hermann and her faction's next action. There, Jacob and Heinrich Kromer began to make preparations for the Malleus Maleficarum to be unleashed.

    Canto X: The Gaze Bearing During the collapse of the Grand Magasin Sisyphe, the 300 million Distortions housed were beginning to be released due to the removal of the Golden Bough upholding the system. As such, Heinrich Kromer was present, gloating over her success against the system. Jacob, who was present alongside her, confirmed the release of the Distortions upon the District. However, in the midst of the confirmation, Kromer noticed a permeating smoke rising from the tower, a byproduct of the Chaplain's use of emergency systems to incinerate a majority of the Distortions. In a fit of rage, the Giant was skewered, with Kromer mourning the mass of deaths of Distortions. At some point during this period, Jacob would remove the Chaplain's head.

    Later, with a meeting of the N Corp. Board of Directors called once more, Kromer arrived alongside Jacob, arguing the use of the Canned Experience's former system of harvesting. There, Jacob provided the deceased Chaplain's head as proof of his demise, which Kromer mocked. Jacob and Kromer would go on to push for the Malleus Maleficarum to their audience, something which would plunge the City into total chaos if allowed to progress.
