Entity 1 "The Recorder"
Found in Zone 0
6' to 7' tall, Non-hostile The Recorder is a faded dark humanoid silhouette holding a softly-whirring old-fashioned film camera with just one blinking red light. He appears to be harmless and has only been spotted when the traveler in question has been especially distressed and/or trapped in Zone 0 an exceptionally long time. He tends to follow these distressed travelers for awhile before fading away, possibly to reappear later if the explorer remains in this zone or continues to be emotionally distressed/afraid. |

"It had felt like I'd been in this room before. Dusty shelves with more cameras, old squeaky classroom chairs in the halls... Whichever direction I turned, it felt as if the world was playing games with me, like some sick existential joke by a wicked God. I turned around another corner and jumped in surprise. At the far end of the hall was a dark shadowy figure---hallucination-like---set up with a tripod and some type of old TV camera, the reels slowly rotating. "Hey! Who are you!", I stammered. There was no response. "What is this place?'' The slightly crouched cameraman silhouette continued filming. I walked forward, quickly covering the length of the hallway. At six feet away the figure seemed to become more distorted and grainy. I blinked a few times, trying to ensure I wasn't imagining things and instantly the figure was gone, only the red lights and darkroom door behind him remaining. I surely must be going insane. How much longer could I keep this up?" -Unknown Traveler
