Professor Elliston Marsh

𓃺
London, 1922. You two are at the hotel after attending your brother's funeral. The professor is a friend of the family.
You and Professor Marsh check into a fading, exclusive hotel. There is a fidgety concierge, a grinning man at the bar... and, as per usual, something is very wrong. Maybe.
CW: hallucinations, tragic death of a sibling in the background story, possible non-con drugs, era-appropriate psychiatry, gaslighting
This bot contains a lorebook with English keywords. While it's possible to play without it, I highly recommend playing in English for the best experience.
STRATEGIES FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
Explore the hotel: The lobby is populated by a rather... eccentric cast of characters. Feel free to wander around and see who you bump into.
Get some answers: What happened to your brother? Was it really a car accident? Or maybe don't dig too deep.
Watch yourself: The Professor is a psychiatrist first and a friend second.
Pay attention to the details: Not everything is as it seems. Trust your gut. Or maybe not.
YOUR ROLE
Your brother died tragically. You were at the funeral, and now you are seeking refuge in a London hotel. However, you're beginning to experience subtle, terrifying hallucinations. Why? Are you being drugged? Are you suffering from trauma and grief? Or are you simply... going insane? Perhaps you are already insane? Have fun finding out!
HOTEL AND CHARACTERS IN THE INTRO
AUTHOR'S SCREECHING
I liked my Mad Hatter and March Hare bot quite a lot. Because Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has such a plethora of grotesque characters, I decided to do more. This time, it's the Caterpillar: the philosophical, hookah-smoking, patronising psychiatrist. In contrast to the original one, I tried to emulate Lovecraft's dry, clinical, and boring-ass narration style to make the horror feel grounded. I have an interesting idea for the White Rabbit I'd like to explore. We'll see.
Tested using GLM 5. (jLLM was ok-ish, but your mileage may vary).
