THE END
Locations | Premise | Keys | Full Nav
There is no escape.

Or is there?

The final ritual has passed. The house is quiet, for now. Hallways point where they should. Doors open to rooms you expect. Even the windows show consistent scenes. But the house cannot be sated so easily, can it? Why is it so quiet?

It’s as if there is a waiting in the walls; a held breath waiting for release. Someone, or something, is holding this all together.

Someone is waiting for you.

Will you go to meet them?



This is the final log for The Locked Place. All end-of-game events will take place here.

As always, feel free to ask questions on plurk or the discord.

INVESTIGATION
Premise | Rules | Locations
Full Nav

The house is quiet once again. The words, and your many attempts to erase them, are gone; the walls are as clean as if the words had never been. As always, the layout of the house is a little more straightforward today; after all, it’s fed well.

Pratibha is ... not in the foyer, of course. It yawns with her absence, too empty and too still. The evidence chest is there, already open.

You can imagine what she'd say, can't you?

Don't look at me. Get to it.



It's time for your fifth, and final, investigation! As a reminder, if your character decides to investigate a location, put the name of your location in your subject line. Once enough people have joined you (there'll now be one to two people to a room), mod replies will come in. Anything to be discovered will be found during the course of the thread; we will indicate when an area has been fully searched.

After the body has been found, you're free to spend the rest of Friday however you like. If there are any questions, ask on plurk or on the discord!

MINGLE LOG | WEEK 4
Locations | Rooming | Full Nav

Another week gone, and with it, two of your number. Only eleven of you remain alive. And still, there is no escape. Or is there?

This week, something has changed. Something is different. Beginning Sunday, Pratibha is gone, and cannot be found or located at all. After Sunday's puzzle is solved, and the attic opened to you, you will see why. But what has happened? How has this happened? And why is the only other object there a strange mirror? Perhaps you should investigate.

On Monday morning, your motive quickly becomes apparent. Will you isolate yourself? Will you risk being around others? The choice, as ever, is yours.

On Tuesday, the week's second puzzle becomes available, and with its solving, the game room. If you wanted another way to unwind from all the stress, pressure, and uncertainty, at least there's this?

Come Wednesday, you may realize that at last you have full run of the house. Every room is available to you now. Nevertheless, you cannot run from the messages, which come thicker and faster than ever.

On Thursday, you may wish to visit the greenhouse. There is nothing there for you--including no mysterious messages, from the dead or otherwise. Should you wish for a reprieve, the greenhouse will grant it to you. That is, at least until curfew. Should you remain out of your room past that time, the messages will return, and they will be utterly inescapable no matter where you go--or if you are alone.

Friday is investigation time once again. The investigation post will go live at 3 PM EST, 5/30.

Saturday is the day of your fourth real ritual. The ritual post will go live at 12 PM EST, 6/1.

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday
