Betrayal - future is now
[ You spill out of the elevator into the kitchen— the elevator is gone when you look back.
You enter the Kitchen. It gleams, modern, chrome, and threatening. A kitchen needs no haunted house to twist to be threatening— a rack of knives tall as a child is set into a long countertop, pots and pans hang from above. There's stoves with gas and flame, a wood-fired oven and a modern one, a walk in freezer with a very prominent pad-locked— currently left open, but that could change. Inside the freezer, there is nothing but meat. Inside the refrigerator, cake. On the counter, a meat slicer guillotine and jars and jars of pickled ingredients-- hopefully ingredients.
Looking long enough at the fridge or the cupboards gives the shadow impression of a memory of someone rooting through them, looking for a few specific things. A person who hit the point of desperation right at the finish line, just a few details away, who couldn't let go just because they didn't have one or two materials and tore through hunting for makeshift replacements - things to use in place of eyes, fingers, and a heart - until they found the resolution to even use their own, all to no avail. You know this only vaguely, in some distant and uncertain corner of your mind - but you probably don't want to linger too long on the thought that you have more materials around than they did. If you lose your sanity, or are damaged too far, though, it will overwhelm you.
A book sits open on the counter, and Exael's hologram is sprawled on the edge nearby, one arm dangling off the edge of the counter and her head pillowed on her other as she looks over in your direction. If you have questions and she's not busy with hosting or another unit, she'll appear here to answer them.
A readout on your phone tells you the rules and displays the sanity goal (explore rooms) and your traitor goal (complete a partially assembled human body) as well as the item that you've been given (book). It looks like nothing is stopping you from committing the traitor goal even while you're sane, if you wish to.
There is one exit: West. ]
