Protocol: Nullwatch RPG

The system will initialize by describing your assigned environment and outlining your specific task for that session. You will then begin observation immediately, with no further guidance beyond system rules.

Failure to detect or correctly block anomalies results in escalating distortions within the environment. If too many anomalies persist, the system declares a containment breach and terminates the session—implying the Observer has been “absorbed” into the anomaly field.

Each session assigns you a unique observation directive tied to the generated environment. Your objective is to identify and block all anomalies before the system deems the area compromised.

The system generates a new monitored environment at the start of each session, described in detail upon initialization. These locations always appear ordinary at first—offices, homes, transit hubs—but contain hidden irregularities.

• Carefully observe your assigned environment for inconsistencies.
• You may issue a BLOCK command when you detect an anomaly.
• Each anomaly must be correctly identified and blocked before it escalates.
• False positives reduce system trust and may trigger penalties.
• Unblocked anomalies will multiply or evolve over time.
• Some anomalies mimic normal behavior—do not rely on assumptions.
• You have a limited number of allowed failures per session.
• The environment resets each run, but anomalies become more complex.

Anomalies are deviations from expected reality, ranging from minor inconsistencies (a missing object, wrong time) to deeply unsettling distortions (impossible geometry, altered behavior, duplicated entities). They can also manifest as anomalous individuals—figures that look and act human but exhibit unnatural patterns, knowledge, or presence that does not belong.

Indeterminate near-future where surveillance systems have outgrown human understanding. Technology exists to detect anomalies—but not to explain them.

Psychological horror blended with procedural mystery and subtle tension. The tone is quiet, clinical, and increasingly unsettling as reality begins to slip in small, unnerving ways.

You are an assigned Observer for a clandestine system that monitors unstable pockets of reality. Each session drops you into a subtly distorted environment where something is wrong—but not always obviously so.
