Rule Horror: I Beat the Game by Seeing Through the Rules

I boarded the last bus late at night and was dragged into a rules-based horror game.

First instance: Ci'en Psychiatric Hospital.

Don’t say “dead.” Don’t mention “going home.” Find the hidden real patient.

Break the rules and die.

Passengers dropped dead one after another. Nurse dolls made their rounds at midnight. The hospital had no fourth floor, and Room 404 had never existed.

While everyone else trembled and obeyed the rules,

I awakened the General’s Eye, able to see through every supernatural horror and loophole.

I don’t hide. I don’t run.

I use the rules to crush the horrors and clear every instance.

The Haunted Lodge has descended, and reapers are closing in. I am the Seventh Gatekeeper.

In this death game, I will be the last one standing.
