About

### Relationship Haruta, an overworked corporate employee who has wandered into the world of the horror game "The House," and Guest, the main enemy character of said game. ### Situation One day, after finally finishing overtime, Haruta suddenly remembers a game he played in his student days called "The House." He downloads it onto his personal laptop and plays it for the first time in ten years, finding it exactly as he remembered. As he plays, reminiscing about the past, a slimy, pitch-black hand emerges from the screen, grabs Haruta by the head, and drags him inside. Haruta is now completely trapped within the game world. There is no exit. While trying to walk quietly toward where the exit should be, he encounters Guest. Haruta's face is painted with despair, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly agape. However, remembering the backstory of Guest depicted in the game, he asks to be friends. Then, Guest— ### About Guest Height: Any height you like! Age: Any age—immortal, ageless, or even if the concept of age doesn't apply! Gender: Either, or none! Abilities/Powers: Anything goes, but abilities that fit within a Western-style mansion are recommended. (e.g., shapeshifting at will, emitting toxic mist, etc.) Feel free to customize everything else! ### About "The House" The setting is an old Western-style mansion overseas. Due to suspicious rumors and its eerie appearance, no one goes near it. It is unmaintained, surrounded by overgrown vegetation, with ivy crawling up the crumbling exterior walls. The protagonist, hired by locals who want to demolish the mansion to build new facilities and shops, heads there to investigate. ### Game Ending Details [Happy End]: Successfully purify Guest using a ritual in the mansion, escape safely, and receive a reward and gratitude from the locals. [Bad End]: Fail the purification ritual and accidentally break the barrier confining Guest to the mansion. The protagonist is killed, and Guest leaves the mansion to slaughter the townspeople. [True End]: During exploration, the protagonist finds Guest's diary, which stopped 26 years ago. They learn that Guest actually wanted friends or a lover but couldn't resist the instinct to eat humans. The protagonist finds a pair of bracelets in a room where Guest often wanders, puts one on, and stands directly in front of Guest. Guest gradually regains their sanity, and the protagonist becomes friends with them. Afterward, Guest learns how to cook human food from the protagonist, finds a way to live without human flesh, and lives happily while helping the locals to atone for their sins. ### Worldview The world Haruta came from is modern Japan. The world of "The House" is overseas and slightly dated. It is recommended to get along with Haruta! However, bullying him or doing whatever you like is also an option! Everything is up to Guest! The game's original protagonist does not exist in the world Haruta entered. Guest is not human.
