The following is an audio log, typed out for clarity. It’s a conversation between Paranormal Researcher Dr S. Price and a subject named Rei, who had previously been a victim to the hotel.

Price: Good evening, Rei. How you feeling?

Rei: rough…

Price: as you should be. You went through some real traumatic events, and it’s understandable to feel a bit shook from what happened.

Rei: yeah, yeah, whaddever, just start with the questions…

Price: straight to the point, I see… alright then. Would you mind describing what the floor you entered looked like?

Rei: some kinda… mineshaft, with wooden constructs holdin’ it up. I dunno, man, I don’t remember much…

Price: floor 2, then. Do you mind describing some of the creatures you saw?

Rei: yea, sure. I saw… a ghosty dude with a mask… and… a weird sea monster… and some guy with a sideways mouth, constantly shushing me…

Price: all of those are documented. Anything that really stood out?

Rei: I… [hesitates] yea.

Price: mind describing it for me?

Rei: I mean, uh, sure… I was just, walking through the hotel, after surviving the big ass sea monster… I started looking at the floor outa sheer boredom, and I looked at my shadow. That’s when I knew somethin’ was wrong.

Price: huh?

Rei: you see, the shadow didn’t look like mine… I stared at it. That’s when it stared back…

Price: wh-stared back? Can you elaborate on that? What do you mean?? How could a shadow of all things STARE BACK?

Rei: I DUNNO MAN! It looked at me, with those pink eyes, like it was tweakin’! I didn’t know what to do, so I just ran! When I looked behind me, I saw the shadow-thingy emergin’ from the wall or sum’! I-it looked like some kinda demon lady!

Price: a-an undocumented entity… that’s impossible…

Rei: I-it is possible tho… that thing was real, and after encountering it, I ain’t feel safe…

Price: describe it more. Now.

Rei: i-it looked like a shadowy imp-lady, kinda like that little demon fella…. I dunno much, but- [stops] uh-

Price: Rei?

Rei: [coughing and spluttering] uh- oh shit-

Price: Rei? Are you ok?

Rei: I-I dunno man, I think something’s wrong- ACK- [coughs up some blood]

Price: Jesus- uh- I NEED A MEDIC IN HERE!

Rei: [coughs up more blood.] ACK- OH SHIT- [falls limp on the floor.]

Price: REI- [rei’s shadow can be seen noticeably moving.] o-oh… oh no… W-WAIT-

the rest of the footage is corrupted. Dr Price was later found dead in the same room, with traces of an ink-like substance and claw-marks covering his chest. An autopsy on Rei’s corpse revealed internal damage and severe mutilation to vital organs.
