Entities

What walks the corridors. Some ignore you. Others saw you long before you saw them.

E-016Level 0

Skinstealer

Very high

It imitates a survivor: a believable name, a pose, an object in hand. It lives alongside you as one of your own, it is avoided by looking at it, and it never speaks.

Children

High

Small silhouettes that move in a pack. Still if you look at them, fast if you turn your back, and their touch stuns.

E-005Unlocated

Adult Faceling

High

The adult faceling, an office worker standing motionless at their post, watching. Its only trace is a floor note.

Prowler, Grille and Stalker

High

Three stalking creatures that make no noise. One charges, one hangs from the ceiling, and the third has barely been seen.

How Creatures Sound

High

Almost no creature in Level 0 makes a noise, so silence is the warning, and what makes no sound is usually what is closest.

E-014Level 0

Vestibule Receptionist

High

They say that behind the Vestibule counter sits a Watcher that looks at you from the moment you enter, not when you come near.

E-026Level 0

Watcher

Moderate

An adult sitting in an office chair, back turned, who slowly turns their head to follow you. It does nothing else.

E-020Level 0

Smiler

Moderate

A figure of smoke with two eyes and a smile, at the far end of the corridor. It only advances when nobody is looking, and nobody has seen how.

E-004Level 0.01

The One Who Waits at the Door

Moderate

A figure with its back turned under the exit sign. When you get within twelve meters it is gone and the door is still shut.

E-013Level 0

Legacy Records

Low

Three names the archive keeps from another era: Lurker, Crawler and Shadow. Nobody has seen them in the current Level 0.

Field Guide: Creatures

Low

How to recognize each Level 0 creature, what it does if it reaches you, and what to do before you find out.

E-025Level 0

Traces and Visible Signs

Footprints and dust. What each creature lets you see before it arrives, and what an attentive wanderer learns to read in the carpet.
