Rule Horror: From the Start, I Couldn't Find a Kitchen Knife

Rule-based horror / escalating thrills / not a mental patient / no weapons / no female lead

“Have you ever heard of a game where following the rules makes your lifespan shoot up?”

“Yeah. I clicked on it and it wasn’t that at all. I’m going to bed.”

“You can actually play it right now. Just check into Today Tower and follow these rules:

1. [There is no casino beside the swimming pool, ever.]

2. [If you are injured, be sure to get medical attention promptly.]

3. [The tower’s ventilation system runs from 12:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m., and the equipment will switch on automatically.

To protect your health, we advise you to lie in bed with your eyes closed after midnight.

If you have no choice but to open your eyes and move around during this time, press the red button beside your bed. When staff see it, they will manually switch off the ventilation in your room.]

4. [A place illuminated by light is not a sunny day.]

5. [Take an active part in the game and join a guild.]
