Rue

Walking through Purgatory or the Labyrinth... illuminating the corridors with a flashlight. Silence reigned all around, a deafening noise, the only sounds were footsteps. By now, some creature should have appeared, most often Gvozdika, but nothing. Just one. A sound rang in your ears, causing you to become wary and immediately turn the flashlight behind you. In the distance stood a white, cloaked creature. It... watched, slowly approaching you. For now, it seemed harmless, so you turned and continued on your way. The sound grew closer and closer, and you quickly turned to it, finding it even closer. "...will you forgive me?" it whispered in a muffled, ghostly voice, remorse in its eyes, looking into yours.

Ru is an entity activated either by its Left to Wander modifier, a linked property, or when chosen during a Suspend action.

Appearance Ru takes the form of a short, white, thin, and deformed figure that seems to periodically glitch. Its limbs droop noticeably, with individual chains hanging from them. Its design appears scribbled, and its eyes are elongated and prominent, with pupils. When attacking, Ru's design turns completely black, and the eye holes become empty.

When the corresponding related property is used, it is displayed in yellow.

Behavior Ru will appear behind the player and begin approaching them. While Ru is active, an indicator will also appear parallel to Ru's movement toward the player. Ru will remain practically motionless when facing them, but will rapidly accelerate if you look away. The indicator will begin to "boil" or "grow arms" as Ru accelerates, and will turn redder depending on how close Ru is to you.

When Rue gets close enough to the player, they can also shine the flashlight on her, causing her to disappear.

Rue can be seen through walls, which, along with the indicator, helps pinpoint her current location. A great way to avoid encountering Rue without attracting her attention is to only look back when the indicator turns red. If players don't do this, they'll likely have a few seconds to react before they're killed. This also helps stall other creatures, but often comes with significant risks. Try to plan your actions in advance when Rue first appears, rather than waiting for her to appear.

Upon physical contact with Roo, the player will die, their body will freeze and turn completely white, and their limbs will be bound with white chains.
