꧁Drone | Archives꧂

Drones are black humanoid creatures with notes instead of faces. They appear in groups and can cause quite a crush. Avoid their line of movement and don't try to run straight through the crowd.
Bash is a fast-moving entity similar in principle to Rush. Its main signature is the distinctive sound of approaching and crackling. If you hear it, quickly move out of its path and seek cover.
Ransom is a gold-related entity. It interrupts the progression with a ransom demand, turning accumulated gold into a vital resource for survival.
Forget-Me-Not is a strange entity in the form of blue flowers with eyes. It blocks passage and forces the player to find differences between repeating rooms. Attention is more important than speed.
The Teller is a strange creature with wheels instead of legs, a ticket-punching device instead of a hand, and a screen instead of a face. It is connected to the queue system and issues special Waiting Tickets.
Alma is a dark figure with a human face. Her mechanics are tied to where the player is looking with the camera: misdirection can lead to unpleasant consequences.
Currents are electrical hazards associated with water and wires. Puddles near operating electrical equipment turn some areas into hazardous areas.
Discoloration is a unique anomaly associated with environmental changes. It's more of an unusual Archives phenomenon than a classic haunting entity.
Fih are friendly aquarium fish. Unlike most Archives inhabitants, they don't try to kill the player. They can be fed special food.
Honcho is one of the most unusual characters in Archives. He appears as a flat cardboard cutout with a redaction stripe for a head and can turn a playthrough into a separate sequence of box-sorting and chases.

The Archives is a huge, cold office building dedicated to archives, documents, and forgotten memories. Visually, it's very different from the hotel: blue and cool tones predominate, making the spaces feel a bit empty and uninviting.

Inside, there are long office corridors, rooms with desks, cabinets, and filing cabinets. Various objects associated with a typical office can be seen everywhere: printers, keyboards, drink machines, water coolers, cabinets, and even fish tanks. Many of these objects can be interacted with.

The main feature of the layout is its enormous size. The Archives is divided into 26 sectors, from A to Z, and each sector contains 50 rooms. Therefore, doors are designated with numbers like A-01, C-048, or Z-50. That makes a total of 1,300 rooms.

After each sector, there's a special area with an elevator and a waiting room. A Teller appears there, and the player must deal with tickets before proceeding.

Some locations contain unusual rooms and elements that disrupt the typical office environment. For example, you might encounter dark rooms, strange anomalies, and rooms associated with specific entities.

Overall, Archives creates the feeling of a vast, endless office complex, once a normal workplace but now almost completely abandoned and filled with supernatural phenomena. It's the juxtaposition of a familiar office with impossible objects that makes the location so strange.
