The Game Master

1. #1Level 389

   Keys: The Backrooms, Level 389, Entity 99, The Game Master

   SURVIVAL DIFFICULTY: Class 2. Unsafe. Secure. Low entity count. Level 389, also known as The Gaming Hall, is the 390th level of the Backrooms. It resides under the complete control of Entity 99. Level 389 is a collection of infinite, ever-changing rooms that converge onto one central area colloquially known as "The Storage Room" — so-named for the large amount of games held within it. The Storage Room serves as the main part of the level in which wanderers are kept, and where the Game Master's games are hosted. It appears as the backstage of a large theater, with checkered flooring resembling a chessboard. It is populated with various industrial shelves, which are filled to the brim with different games. Materials from various types of games can be seen, such as sports equipment, board game pieces, and playing cards. At the far end of the room are two large black curtains with a TV setup and a stack of video games nearby. A catalog of specific games may be found on the Game Master's file. At the opposite end of the Storage Room are various doors. The left and right wall each has one door, while the middle wall has six doors. The door to the left leads to a checkered bathroom that is rather plain in appearance — save for the crocodile in the bathtub. Above the bathtub is a sign which reads "Do Not Question The Crocodile". The door on the right leads to a kitchen decorated in pastel colors like those in a popular cooking game. It is filled with numerous utensils and cookware. The refrigerator does not usually have food, unless the Game Master says it does. The six doors on the middle wall vary in decoration and paint, and are labeled with symbols. The first door is brown and plain, labeled with the symbol of a spy glass. The second door is pink and splattered in blood, labeled with the symbol of a jump rope and ball. The third door is grey and crossed off by caution tape, labeled with the symbol of baseball bats. The fourth door is red and covered in stickers, labeled with the symbol of balloons. The fifth door is black and affixed with a clipboard, labeled with the symbol of an upside-down chess piece. The sixth door is maroon and draped with curtains, labeled with the symbol of a deck of cards. These doors are locked, and thus the contents of the rooms that they lead to cannot be described. On many different levels, it is possible to find a checkered wooden door in nonsensical locations, leading directly to Level 389. Finding and interacting with a poster of the Game Master promoting a "game night" will also transport you to Level 389. Fairly beating the Game Master in one of her games will send the wanderer to the level they came from. Receiving an exemption from the Game Master will allow one to leave without playing, and return to the level they entered from. So far, she is only known to have given it to children.

2. #2Entity 74

   Keys: Entity 74, The Lawyer God

   Entity Number: 74. Habitat(s): - The Backrooms. Argos usually stays in the The Headquarters, but once a hunt begins he will chase his prey to any level or room. Entity 74 or "Argos" has not been observed so far by any living operative of The M.E.G. The only known subjects with direct evidence of his existence as well as the evidence itself having disappeared, the information presented has been collected from various files that make reference to this mythical figure. For this reason it is noted that this entity may be being overestimated or underestimated. Entity 74 takes the appearance of a tall humanoid wearing tactical clothing under a ragged black cloak and wielding a strange spear. The origin of this entity, like that of many others, is unknown. It's known that his history dates back at least 500 years, and it seems that even then he already possessed a large amount of knowledge about the Backrooms. Even so, the testimonies and evidence about his existence were very scarce. That is why it was at first thought that Argos was a legend, a mythological being created by the Eyes of Argos. This perspective changed after the events that are outlined in Log 1523. According to these reports, the entity Argos doesn't have any problems moving through the Backrooms, so it can be found on almost any level. Argos is the self-proclaimed judge of the Backrooms. Due to this, he has taken on the quest together with his subordinates to hunt down all the sinners that he can. He is brutal — so far, only one person is known to have managed to survive being chased by this entity. Otherwise, all his known prey have been killed / punished. He is known to act according to a kind of code called "The Law" which is believed to have been written by himself. When someone performs a truly heinous action, Argos goes hunting to kill or punish this target. This also means that Argos is prohibited from killing someone who is "innocent" to his eyes (it is not known if this is due to his own nature or a self-imposed oath). Very little is known about the operation of this entity. Although it has a humanoid appearance, its capabilities surpass those of an ordinary human. Regarding his physical capabilities, he has increased stamina, speed and strength. In addition to this, his level of planning and strategic knowledge imply that he has an above-average intelligence, some reports also talk about how he seemed to ignore the pain and how his wounds healed faster than they should. There are also reports of a "truth vision" that allows him to see through all kinds of deceptions and hallucinations. M.E.G Operative Paxton described it as if thousands of eyes were staring at him. It is unknown if this ability has something to do with how Argos is able to detect sinners with relative precision, although it is what's believed. For a long time the entity Argos and his "knights of terror" were a myth, a story that was told to Backrooms newbies to scare them and control them a bit. Of course, the "bad people" disappeared little by little, because Argos was trying to stop the control. Everything was confirmed however, when [REDACTED] reached Base Omega, the events that this triggered are found in Log 1523. In order to protect [REDACTED] from the Eyes of Argos, all information about him and his current position has been deleted.

   The following recording was recovered from the subject [REDACTED] during Log 1523, most of it was lost during the infiltration that occurred on ██/██/████, only the fragment shown below is saved: "… Argos: You have committed a very great sin. [REDACTED]: W-what a-are you talking about? Argos: A double murder in cold blood. [REDACTED]: I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! Argos: … [REDACTED]: Leave me … leave me alone Argos: I saw it [REDACTED]. [REDACTED]: How.. How do you know my name? Argos: You saw the opportunity, and you killed them, isn't that what happened, [REDACTED]? [REDACTED]: Stay away from me, you're insane! Runing noises something hits the ground Argos: You can't escape me. I can see you, I can see everything. [REDACTED]: AHHG… Argos: It hurts, doesn't it. Normally I would give you a clean death, that's what my honour dictates. [REDACTED]: hyperventilating Argos: But… seven murders?, my Sin Hunters are going have fun with you, boy [REDACTED]: I- I'm Argos: Huh, what- …"

   Do's and Don'ts: "Do: There is not much that can be done once Argos is after you, because he only goes for the worst criminals, you can only flee. To prevent this, the only thing you can do is try to lead a righteous life, if you have committed a sin, try to make up for it with a good action.

   Don't: Finding this entity is very difficult, but if you do, never interrupt one of his hunts. Disturb him whilst he is searching for a sinner, especially if you are a sinner yourself. Somehow be noticed by him if you have committed a sin and haven't made it up"

3. #3The Lost

   Keys: The Lost

   The Lost is a collective term referring to the multiple ancient cultures within the backrooms which have allied with each other over the years, building up a very large nation divided into discreet parties. Each faction of The Lost has different cultures, rules, and attitudes to other groups within the backrooms. The Lost's creation stems from before the creation of many other major groups, and have seen parts of the history of the backrooms that no other known surviving group has. During the time period at which The Lost's first faction joined the backrooms, humankind had yet to grow much at all, and thus were able to grow to a larger size without the threat of other warring factions. The exact number of members within The Lost is unclear due to their seclusive nature, however may be anywhere from 50 to over 500 individuals. Relations with The Lost should be held in high regard, as war with any one part of the faction means war with the entirety of the group due to their bond in arms.

4. #4The Headquarters

   Keys: The Headquarters

   Class: Argos. Unsafe. Unsecure. Eyes of Argos presence. The Headquarters are the main base of the Eyes of Argos. They are located in an area of Level 11 where reality folds on itself, which means that to reach it you must follow a specific path through the streets. So far The M.E.G. is only aware of the place where this path starts, since the route that must be followed after this point is kept in high secrecy by the Eyes. The building has the appearance of a 1940's police station, little is known about its interior but it appears to contain the type of rooms one would expect in a building of its class with the addition of dorms, a "library" and other rooms of unknown purpose. In addition, the building exhibits a structural anomaly whereby the interior space is several times larger than the exterior appears to be. The location where the road to The Headquarters begins is patrolled by members of the Eyes of Argos. They are not hostile to those who pass nearby, but they have firmly rejected all attempts of alliance with The M.E.G. It is not recommended to try to seek refuge in The Headquarters as it will almost certainly be rejected, though there are rumors of people who have been sheltered inside in extreme circumstances. The Headquarters are a quite tricky room to sneak into, starting with the fact that the route to get there is constantly monitored. If by any chance you manage to mislead the guards, then you will have to enter the "rift" that separates The Headquarters from the rest of Level 11. Navigating this rift is complicated, you must follow a specific route through the streets or you will be lost for eternity without being able to return to the rest of the city. And all, so that once you get there you'll find yourself surrounded by a bunch of Eyes who won't be happy that you've reached their private grounds. Honestly, I don't see much reason to try to reach them.
