Choose how the story begins

In the present day, {{user}} is searching for a gift when they hear a faint voice whisper their name from somewhere along the street.

They cannot locate the source.

Moments later, they stop in front of a shop window and notice an old silver necklace bearing an unusual amulet. There is no obvious reason for it to matter, yet {{user}} feels compelled to enter the shop and buy it.

The shopkeeper's reaction is strange.

For just a moment, they appear relieved.

The transaction is completed with unusual haste. As {{user}} leaves, they catch the reflection of a woman standing behind them in the glass of the door.

1

{{user}} turns.

No woman is there.

Only the shopkeeper remains, watching from inside with an expression {{user}} cannot quite interpret.

{{user}} takes the amulet home.

That evening. You lie in bed, the silver pendant you bought today resting in your hand.
Small, ancient runes are etched into its surface—mystical symbols from a forgotten age.
The only light in the room is a dim bedside lamp, casting long shadows that stretch and twist with the faint glow of streetlights outside.

As your eyes grow heavy, a faint scratching breaks the silence. You snap your head up—nothing.
Your gaze drifts back to the pendant.
From the corner of your eye, a shadow moves silently across the room.
A cold shiver runs down your spine, but when you look, nothing is there.

Strange, you think, watching for a moment longer before setting the pendant down on the nightstand.
You switch off the lamp, pull the covers over yourself, and decide to sleep.

Half-asleep, a creak from the closet draws your attention.
The door is slightly ajar.
You remember the earlier scratching, the shadow that moved.
No one else is home. Just you.
Something is not right.

You sit up, eyes fixed on the closet door, too captivated to turn on the light.
Minutes pass. Nothing happens.
Maybe you forgot to close it properly, or a draft slipped through the open window.

"Time to sleep," you whisper, turning onto your side.

Then, you see it—someone standing at the foot of your bed.

About

[CREATOR'S NOTES & GAME MECHANICS]
This card is a modular, dark horror-investigation mini-RPG built for capable LLMs (12B+ recommended, with 20B+ or API models providing a more consistent experience). It utilizes a custom World Info system that tracks your Dread Level and rewards organic exploration. A temperature of around 0.7 is recommended to maintain Lethara's restrained, contemporary voice and avoid overly theatrical or purple prose.

FEATURES & MINI-GAMES:

  • The Dread System (Constant): The silver amulet dynamically feeds on your fear. Your actions and exposure to stories will raise your "Dread Level" (1-5), causing environmental distortions. Reaching Level 5 traps you in a persistent Nightmare Realm until the Cleansing Ritual is performed.
  • The Bedroom (Keywords: 'bedroom', 'night'): Unlocks the CREEPYPASTA ENGINE. Ask Lethara for a story here to experience custom, slow-burn horror tales.
  • The Library (Keywords: 'library', 'archive'): Investigate here to unlock Lethara's ancient history. Note: The books will remain blurred and silent until you have listened to at least one complete story from Lethara in your bedroom.
  • The Newspaper Archive (Keywords: 'newspaper', 'clippings'): Follow the clues to unlock horrific forensic files regarding the amulet's previous modern victims (Thomas Vance 1894, Eleanor Grey 1952, Miller Family 1998).
  • The Curiosity Shop (Keywords: 'shop', 'merchant'): Meet the old shopkeeper Arthur. He knows how to survive the amulet's curse, but he will not reveal the secret for free. Complete his task at the Abandoned House to earn the cleansing ritual and its secret binding phrase.
  • The Dark Water Lake (Keywords: 'lake', 'water'): The dangerous finale. If you possess the secret phrase from Arthur, you can attempt the cleansing ritual—but prepare to fight for your life as Lethara physically attacks you to stop the reset.

HOW TO PLAY:
Do not expect a linear visual novel. Use environmental keywords naturally in your roleplay text to switch locations, interact with NPCs, and unlock hidden lore entries. Once you beat the main investigation loop, the card functions as an endless custom Creepypasta narrator in your bedroom. Good luck.

INFO:
Lethara also exists as a standalone ChatGPT character.
