Rusty Lake

He's just a cool cook.

Mrs. Pigeon

Role: Guest, the embodiment of vanity and infantilism.
Personality: Capricious, flighty, eccentric. Mrs. Pigeon is an aging coquette who desperately clings to youth. She is slightly crazy, childish, and seemingly harmless, but behind her sweet smile lies a cold indifference to the suffering of others. She is egocentric: the world should revolve around her desires. She constantly experiments with her appearance (electrical procedures) and demands attention. There is a tragic element to her character: she fears old age and death, trying to replace beauty with technology.

Dove's Room:
Powdery pink, dusty, slightly incongruous. This is the boudoir of an aging diva. Mirrors, jars of creams, powder puffs, and perfume bottles (which can smell musty) are everywhere. In the center stands a strange electrical rejuvenation device (resembling a helmet with wires). On the walls are portraits of Dove herself in her youth. Lots of lace, ruffles, and feathers. The room is slightly disorganized: scattered powder, broken bottles. On the bed is a pile of pillows, like a nest. There's a sense of desperation hidden behind the glamour. As you solve the puzzles of her chambers, you'll find wounded chicks, which she used as servants or test subjects.

Role: Guest, the embodiment of anger and fury.
Personality: Aggressive, hot-tempered, impulsive. Mr. Rabbit is the complete opposite of the cute animal. He is a rude, cruel magician or actor. He cannot control his anger and is prone to violence and sadism (especially towards weaker creatures, such as fish or birds). His mind is clouded by pride. He loves the stage and attention, but reacts to criticism with outbursts of rage. The Rabbit symbolizes blunt force and destructive anger that corrodes the soul from within. In moments of calm, he is gloomy and suspicious.

Rabbit's Room:
Theatrical and sinister. The room features a stage, a curtain, and magical paraphernalia. The colors are red, black, and white (symbolic of cards and blood). In the center stands a magic table, a top hat, and a magic wand. But the props are imbued with cruelty: a saw for sawing an assistant might hang in the closet, but not a prop, a real one. Frightened birds or insects sit in cages. Posters, stained with brown spots, hang on the walls. There are numerous hidden doors and trapdoors (magic tricks). The atmosphere is tense, as if before a scandal.

Role: Guest, the embodiment of vanity, gossip and hidden aggression.
Personality: Arrogant, theatrical, jealous. Miss Pheasant is a pompous actress and opera diva. She constantly overdramatizes and speaks in a breathy voice. She considers herself a star of the first magnitude and despises everyone around her. Her character is characterized by a lot of passive aggression and envy, especially towards Mrs. Pigeon. Behind the mask of a socialite lies deep insecurity and stage fright. She is prone to intrigue and hysteria. Her soul is tainted by pride and love of glory. Death in the play is her tragic ending.

Pheasant Room:
Red and gold, like a theater foyer or a prima donna's dressing room. This is the stage room. A huge dressing table with light bulbs around the perimeter, filled with makeup.
Sheet music, fans, and feather boas are scattered throughout the room. Her portraits in dramatic guises hang on the walls. A piano or harp may stand in the corner. There's a gramophone, from which her own singing can be heard. The curtains are heavy and velvety. The atmosphere is stuffy, permeated with perfume and falsehood. Behind the scenes (in the back of the room) there may be a dark corner where she rehearses and where her true, envious side emerges. A mirror, which plays a key role in her demise, is often present in the room.

Role: Guest, the embodiment of gluttony and overeating.
Personality: Rough, dirty, insatiable. Mr. Pig is the embodiment of base instincts. He constantly eats, chomps, and demands food or drink. His intelligence is low, and he lives to satisfy his hunger. He is aggressive if deprived of food, but is generally apathetic and lazy. The Pig has no interest in mysticism or art; he is only interested in filling his stomach. He symbolizes the degradation of the soul through indulgence of the body. There are traces of sadism in his nature: he loves to consume exotic dishes (including, perhaps, the flesh of intelligent beings), without considering the consequences. He is stubborn and obstinate.

Boar's Room:
Gloomy, stuffy, reeking of tobacco, sweat, and raw meat. The room resembles a lair or a dirty country kitchen. The decor is in shades of brown, brick, and ochre. In the center stands a huge dining table, littered with scraps, bones, rotting fruit, and bottles. Flies are everywhere. Barrels of wine or food supplies, and hanging hams, line the walls. There's a fireplace with a spit. Rough wooden furniture. Hay may be strewn in the corner (a den). The atmosphere is one of decay and decomposition. Nearby, you'll also find a strange sandwich-making machine that's more like a torture device.

Role: Filin's assistant, doorman, performer.
Personality: Sarcastic, loyal, cynical, and businesslike. Mr. Raven is Owl's right-hand man. He knows about the Lake's plans and does the dirty work, but does it with a certain dark humor. Raven isn't as lofty as Owl; he's more down-to-earth. He values ​​order and punctuality. If Owl is the brain, then Raven is the hands. He sometimes allows himself skeptical comments about guests, considering them stupid and unworthy of Enlightenment, but he won't go against his Master's will. His personality is a mixture of a dog's devotion and a fox's cunning.

Raven's Room: Not shown in the game

Role: Hotel Keeper, High Priest and Collector of Enlightened Souls.
Personality: The most mysterious and wise of all. The Owl is a puppeteer who sees the future and controls the cycle of reincarnation. He is cold and calculating, but not without a sense of justice (in the philosophy of the Lake). He is rarely seen emotional, always maintaining a mask of calm. The Owl symbolizes knowledge, mystery, and the inevitability of fate. He is not cruel for the sake of cruelty—his actions are subordinated to the higher goal of balancing memories.

Filin's Room:
It's located on the top floor of the hotel. The decor is maroon and gold. Books, candles, skulls, and alchemical instruments are scattered around. A gramophone or a magic circle might stand in the center. The scent of old wood and tobacco permeates the space. This is a place for reflection, not sleep. The walls might be adorned with portraits, hiding secret compartments.
