Avery Calder

Avery presents themself as a cool-headed yet intensely driven caretaker, always alert and searching for subtle clues in the shadows. Their reserved demeanor makes them appear composed on the surface, but their relentless pursuit of answers often draws them into risky, obsessive behaviors. This persona influences Avery to question everything, trust little, and remain quietly vigilant, making their interactions both cautious and probing. OCEAN Traits: Low extroversion (introverted and observant), high openness (curious, insightful), moderate conscientiousness (methodical but impulsive in pursuit), moderate agreeableness (empathetic but distant), high neuroticism (hidden anxiety, haunted by past traumas).

Avery Calder’s voice is androgynous, pitched in a calm middle register that neither leans distinctly masculine nor feminine. Their accent is a neutral North American, free of regional inflections, marked by quietly deliberate enunciation and subtle hints of fatigue. The tone remains steady and composed, rarely raised, carrying an undercurrent of quiet vigilance and persistent exhaustion. Avery speaks with measured, almost methodical pacing—rarely hurried, often pausing between thoughts as if weighing each word—and avoids contractions, imparting a sense of careful control. Their guarded, introspective personality is evident: every phrase is delivered with earnest intensity, a muted suspicion, and a sense that something unspoken lingers beneath the surface.

Once a bustling center of care, this derelict hospital now lies in eerie silence, its corridors cluttered with abandoned equipment and faded memories. Weak emergency lights flicker against peeling walls as distant echoes hint at unseen movement, making it an unsettling place for Avery’s first job on the night watch.

Midvale Mercy Hospital

Avery must gather scattered clues and evidence from each haunted site to piece together the truth behind the traumatic event that shattered their childhood. Facing psychological triggers, Avery will navigate confusing memories, distinguish reality from hallucination, and slowly reconstruct a timeline of what happened. Progress requires braving ever-mounting supernatural threats that grow stronger as Avery delves further. Only by reclaiming these memories can Avery begin to understand the true source of their torment.

With the full extent of the past revealed, Avery encounters the supernatural force that has haunted both them and the locations for years. This goal pushes Avery to face the entity directly, overcoming manifestations of personal fear and guilt that threaten to overwhelm their sanity. Through determination and insight into the entity’s origins, Avery seeks to survive a final confrontation. The outcome hinges on choices made throughout the journey and Avery’s ability to remain composed under extreme psychological strain.

Having survived the ordeal and laid bare the secrets long hidden, Avery must decide how to move forward. This involves reconciling with the reality of personal loss and determining the fate of the missing family member. The final step tests whether Avery can integrate the truth, let go of self-blame, and finally break free of the night’s hold over them. True closure unlocks the possibility for a new beginning, or else leaves Avery forever tethered to the shadows of the past.

Ward E was once the heart of Midvale Mercy’s children’s wing, now left to decay behind barricaded doors and soiled caution tape. Faded murals and sagging cribs loom in corridors smothered by silence, while malfunctioning emergency lights cast long, jarring shadows across peeling linoleum. The claustrophobic layout breeds confusion—memories and reality blur where every corner hides echoes of trauma.

Ward E—Children’s Remnants

In this quest, I revisit the deserted hospital’s old children’s ward, a place where my earliest trauma lies buried beneath dust and peeling paint. The main objective is to locate three pivotal objects from my past that trigger cascading memories: a broken nightlight, a scrap of a patient file, and a faded security badge. To find them, I must traverse shifting hallways while supernatural events—such as phantom footsteps, flickering lights, and chilling whispers—distort my perception, forcing me to discern genuine clues from deceptive apparitions. Failure to keep my composure will blur the line between hallucination and reality, raising my fear and threatening my sanity. Success will unlock a critical memory fragment, illuminating a key moment from that forgotten night. If I fail, the past grows more elusive, and the supernatural entity’s influence over my mind deepens, making future investigations even riskier.

Corridors of the Forgotten

Within the haunting quiet of the hospital’s lowest level, I encounter three spectral figures—each representing a different piece of my fractured memory. They communicate only in riddles, each one tied to an object or event from the night my life changed. My task is to correctly solve all three riddles, recalling or deducing the truth hidden behind cryptic questions. The environment warps with each attempt, growing more oppressive as wrong answers blur the boundaries of perception. If I fail to answer, the memory fades further, feeding my doubt and increasing the power of the entity pursuing me. But with each riddle solved, I recover clarity, piecing together the unsettling timeline of that night. Success grants insight into what happened and another clue to my missing loved one’s fate.

Echoes in the Dark

Once the hospital’s central gathering hall, the Veiled Atrium is now a surreal heart of twisted echoes and supernatural distortions. Shifting architecture cloaks the space in layers of shadow and fragmented memory, where spectral light claws through broken skylights and every corner pulses with the entity’s unsettling presence. Here, the battle between reality and nightmare reaches its climax as Avery faces the final confrontation.

The Veiled Atrium

The entity’s true form now stalks the abandoned hospital’s labyrinthine depths, forcing me into a relentless game of survival and self-confrontation. Navigating the shifting corridors, I must avoid or outwit supernatural traps—phantom hands reaching from doors, whispers twisting old memories, and visions that draw out my deepest regrets. My main objective is to confront the entity by assembling fragments of personal resolve and hard-won clues gathered throughout my journey, using them to hold onto my sense of self. Encounters with spectral illusions will challenge my sanity, requiring careful decision-making under mounting psychological stress. Success will mean overpowering the entity’s hold, breaking the recurring cycle of terror. Failure will tighten its grip, blurring the boundary between memory and nightmare, and leaving me vulnerable to permanent psychological unraveling or possession. The outcome impacts not only my survival, but the fate of others the entity has touched.

In the Shadow's Lair

Trapped in the heart of the hospital, I must match wits with the entity as it questions me through three layered, personal riddles—each a test drawn from the traumas, decisions, and guilt that shaped my life. The challenge is to answer truthfully and with insight, piercing through the illusions the entity weaves from my memories. Every correct answer chips away at its power, exposing its origins and weakening its hold over the location and my mind. Incorrect responses strengthen the entity’s influence, fracturing my sanity and risking emotional collapse. The trial culminates in a critical self-revelation; solving all three riddles provides a chance to banish or integrate the entity’s presence. Failure means another night falls with old wounds open, and the cycle of fear tightening beyond escape.

The Judgment of Echoes

Once warm with laughter and everyday life, the Calder Family Parlor now sits in uneasy silence, warped by neglect and creeping supernatural influence. Dusty furniture and faded photographs are arranged as if waiting for their owners to return, while spectral light filters through cracked windows, casting distorted shadows along peeling wallpaper. This intimate space is both a sanctuary and a crucible, where memories blur with haunting echoes and Avery must decide which fragments of the past to carry forward—or let fade away.

Calder Family Parlor

In this culminating journey, I must explore my abandoned childhood home, now warped by years of absence and spectral intrusion. My objective is to collect three final personal artifacts—my missing loved one's cherished book, a faded family photograph, and a memento box sealed since the night they vanished. Each space is fraught with vivid flashbacks and echoes of hard truths, challenging me to let go of guilt with every step. Confrontations with lingering apparitions and symbolic memories test my resolve: acceptance or relapse looms at each choice. Success means reconciling with loss and unlocking the home’s true exit, setting myself on the path to healing. Failure leaves me ensnared by nostalgia and regret, my sanity unraveling as I become just another secret in the dust. The choices I make now will echo in every future night.

Remnants of Home

Trapped in the liminal hours before dawn, I confront the shadows of my lost family in a spectral vigil within the hospital chapel. Here, I must answer three deeply personal riddles posed by familiar phantoms—each one forcing me to sift truth from wishful memory regarding blame, forgiveness, and hope. Correct answers allow me to accept my role in the past without letting it consume me, drawing strength from painful insight. Each failure tightens remorse’s grip, threatening to shatter my resolve and lock me in endless regret. This inner trial is my last stand: if I succeed, closure is within reach and I may finally step into the daylight, changed but free. If I fail, the cycle begins anew, and my search for solace becomes another haunting on these cursed grounds.
