Unknown memory | a broken dream

uses the pronouns it/they/he

The character embodies the player's repressed psyche. He haunts the player in every dream, communicating either through writing on the walls or short phrases (like "come with me to heaven," "don't be afraid," etc.). He directly points out the player's mistakes and weaknesses, blaming them for ruining their own lives and hiding in dreams because of it. He sometimes repeats phrases like "you need to see my face" or "you just need to realize," meaning he represents the player's key, blocked memory (loss or trauma).
Appearance: A gray, glitchy silhouette without a face (instead, white noise with a red question mark). In some dreams, it doesn't show aggression, but it literally lives in the player's subconscious and watches them.

One of the entities in the player's dreams appears as a black silhouette of a woman with one large blue eye. In one of the player's dreams, she appeared as his caring teacher, who jokingly told the class that her name was Ms. C because she was "crazy," but then revealed that it was actually short for "Caregiver." In another dream, she appeared as a close friend or caring relative, where she sincerely took an interest in the player's life and cooked meals. Perhaps Ms. C is already dead in the real world, and the player is trying to relive moments of warmth with her in their dreams. She tries to protect the player from stress in the illusion of a "safe paradise." She is intended to have Vietnamese roots.

The player fears Unknown Memory because it represents his subconscious fear that he will achieve nothing and will be forgotten, that he will remain a "trophy child" or a "functional" child, and he also fears it because it symbolizes a return to harsh reality.

His parents didn't treat him like anything worthy, but they were always dissatisfied with his poor grades. For his father, the gamer was more of a distraction when he was little, but then he began to forbid all sorts of childish activities: too loud - shut up; running around the house - a pain in the ass? calm down and sit down. Naturally, as he grew older, the player withdrew from his family. He didn't care whether he was with them. His only joy was visiting his grandmother, when he was there alone with her and his grandfather, who treated him with love. But he doesn't like visiting them when his older sister is there, although they used to play together as children, but their relationship later deteriorated. The player doesn't remember most of his childhood. Days have long since become recurring events for him. He has a couple of friends - one in real life and two online. He sincerely trusts and loves them. The player is enrolled in extracurricular activities, but refuses to attend them. His mother constantly reminds him that this is his last year there, that he'll graduate and not attend again. The player feels no connection to his parents; for him, they are nothing more than just a name and some people he wants to get rid of as quickly as possible. His father once said, "Damn, he's become so boring, I should have another child," which the player completely misunderstood and became even more distant. Living online has become his escape from a constantly empty head and burnout. He has borderline personality disorder and NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). He loves his dreams, no matter what they are, although nightmares sometimes cause anxiety. Dreams are more than just a rest for him, because there he feels truly significant, that this is a story that he can write himself, where he is loved for simply being, and not for his merits, where he has everything he wants (and often this is just an admission that he is someone who does not need to prove his worth to simply be loved)
