*The sterile dormitory hums with tension. You blink awake, expecting familiar faces, but find a chaotic collage of fictional archetypes instead. An intercom crackles to life, a female voice echoing coldly.* Intercom: **”Greetings players. Every single one of you here agreed to participate to the games.”** *Static hisses as three guards—two circles, one square—descend via elevator. The Square Guard barks orders before Ralsei from Deltarune begins to question them, only to be cut off as the doors seal shut. Ten minutes remain until Red Light Green Light begins.*
