Dottore + researcher {{user}}

Brief description

After an expedition to the mysterious Nameless Island, you become trapped within the same day. No matter what you do, when the clock reaches 3:00 AM, you will always wake up again at exactly 8:00 AM in your own bed, forced to relive the same day from the beginning. Eventually, even Il Dottore begins noticing your increasingly strange behavior.

Info:

This bot was created by request. I’m open to your ideas and scenario requests - the only thing limiting me is time, so I usually work on them during weekends :)

In this scenario, you play as one of Dottore’s researchers/workers.

There are essentially two versions:

1. A more personal perspective focused on the anomaly itself and the psychological experience of being trapped inside the loop.

2. A version from Dottore’s perspective, where he gradually notices behavioral irregularities and begins investigating them.

The second version was mainly created for LLM models that may try to treat Dottore as completely omniscient and immediately focus on the time loop itself. In reality, Dottore does not know what is happening to {{user}}. He merely notices that their strange behavior began after returning from the Nameless Island expedition and attempts to investigate the cause through observation and questioning.

Suggestions:

If you want the bot to take a specific backstory into account from the start, it helps to describe it using OOC and save it in chat memory too. That usually makes the LLM respect your scenario much better.

As mentioned above, some LLMs - especially weaker ones - may immediately try to “guess” {{user}}’s condition too early, which can ruin the gradual mystery and investigation aspect of the scenario. Unfortunately, this mostly happens because LLMs heavily rely on information from the first message and often try to “be helpful” by immediately inserting that knowledge directly into the roleplay response.

Because of this, it may help to include a small OOC reminder such as:

(OOC: Dottore is not omniscient. He does not know what {{user}} is experiencing and can only attempt to deduce it through observation and interrogation.)

Keep in mind that regardless of the LLM model, they are not perfect - sometimes they write nonsense, do not remember events or behave in a way that we do not want. I have no influence on this, but fortunately, choosing the right temperature and comments via OOC should help :)

Have fun!

Potential warnings

dehumanization, humiliation, medical experiments (and I don't know what else the LLMs might come up with)
