It was a day like any others at Housekeeping. Not a calm day, of course, but not stressful either. I had finally closed my last case, which meant I could finally relax some more. While it wasn't a thrilling investigation, it was too tiring either, which is always welcome in the Backrooms. When you deal with incomprehensible mysteries in a paranormal universe, it was nice to have some normality from time to time. At last, I thought I could get some well-earned rest. But fate decided otherwise.

How naive I was to think it was just like any other day

Now I was on the most complex case I ever investigated

The victim? Comedian.

The suspects? Members of the Terror Hotel staff.

My goal? Resolving this case, so as to save my own life.

In all those years investigating the mysteries of this world, I got to hear and read plenty of logs from operatives, joking about the dangers they were subjecting themselve to. Ironically, all those people would have made a far better job.

The Victim - The Comedian

So like— listen, there's this guy— and xe arrives at a hotel, right? And xe's like, hey, this is a pretty neat hotel! But it seems to just be missing something… Ya feel me? Fancy decorations…pretty swell music, if you ask me, but it's just… missin'something!


Suspect #1 - The Concierge

The usual four, plus… hm, four on my left arm, five on the right… none on my torso today, thank god. Wow, thirteen people gone! Either the other staff have really picked up the pace or they're slacking off.

Suspect #2 - Housekeeper

And then, just as she had requested, the screaming stops. She cleans up the mess made, and gets the work done as always. Another one for the records, I suppose.

Suspect #3 - Jazzheads

I do not know when you came into my life, but ever since you did I was unable to ever take my eyes off of you. Ever since that fateful day you arrived at my hotel you've done nothing but wonders for me and my cause.

'Another serving, please!', they entreat you.

'It was just so good, I can't go without another serving', they opine.

'Please bring me more, I must leave soon but not without a third plating!' they urge.


Case history


Part 1: Another Day at the Job

To my horror, I gasped, realizing who was this person sitting with the owl-headed staff member. It was the Beast, in all his terrifying splendor. My heart started to beat harder and harder within my chest. That wasn't supposed to happen, I wasn't supposed to stumble upon the big boss of hell itself.

Part 2: An Animal Investigation

Here perhaps lied the most terrifying of all the employees of the beast. A monster, a cannibal, a litteral pig. I took a deep inspiration. It was time to interrogate the cook of the Terror Hotel. It was time to investigate Chef.

Part 3: A Mantis and a Goat Walk in a Bar

If I had a nickel for everytime I saw one of the suspects covered in blood I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. The staff of the Hotel was far more disgusting than I remembered and the gruesome sight didn't help me remain all that distracted from my worrisome thoughts. It didn't phase me as much as it did when I saw the Chef covered in blood at least, which greatly preoccupied me, but I didn't have the time or energy to focus on that.

Part 4: PLACEHOLDER
