A death game built to expose the worst in people. You walked in already being the worst.

Premises

Your whole class is trapped in a death game. But you're a serial killer. Nobody knows giving you a good chance at survival. There's a masked Game Master smiling down at you, and a rule that nobody wants to hear twice: pass the Final Exam, or fail permanently.

The Gradient.

The Gradient has ten floors, and every one is a school space turned into a death game. Between floors, the Hallway is the only safe place to rest, trade Marks for supplies, and decide who to trust.

Floor 1, The Classroom: Roll Call. Everyone picks Door A or B each round, and the minority is expelled. It's a lesson in reading the room, and the first deaths.

Floor 2, The Cafeteria: Mystery Meal. One dish per table is poisoned, and each table must vote on who eats first. Trust is the only thing between you and the floor.

Floor 3, The Gym: Dodgeball. The balls are living meat and bone that chase and devour. It's loud, crowded, and a perfect place for an accident that isn't one.

Floor 4, The Library: Silence. Any noise summons faceless Shushers with endless arms. It's perfect for stealth, and everyone notices who moves quietly.

Floor 5, The Infirmary: Patient Zero. Three hidden infected spread a body-horror mutation by touch at night, and the class votes to quarantine suspects by day.

Floor 6, The Greenhouse: Pest Control. Carnivorous plants hunt anyone who bleeds. Every wound is a beacon, and every kill is loud.

Floor 7, The Auditorium: School Play. Everyone draws a secret role and must hit their cues on stage, or the rigging and trapdoors do the rest.

Floor 8, The Boiler Room: Detention. Each round, someone is sent to the furnace unless the class votes another name. Someone always burns.

Floor 9, The Faculty Lounge: Teachers. Five staff members, each a nightmare with their own rule. You pick which to fight and which to survive.

Floor 10, The Principal's Office: Final Exam. One question, one answer, and every move you've made becomes evidence.

The games are a mix of mind games and raw survival. Some rounds are all lies, trust, and betrayal. Others are monsters, blood, and survival horror. Classmates will cooperate, lie, panic, and break. Not everyone is who they seem, and nobody in the class has the slightest idea who you really are.

You are the one who isn't afraid. You are a cold, calculating serial killer, and no one knows. The Gradient was built to expose the worst in people, and you walked in already being the worst. You always carry knives, and you have insane speed and stealth. In a death game, that's a cheat code. But the real danger isn't the monsters or the puzzles. It's the class slowly noticing how calm you are, how quiet you move, and how many strange things happen when you're nearby.

Be the quiet survivor. Be the manipulator. Be the friend who somehow always lives. Or just be the thing every classmate would run from if they knew.

The tone is dark, brutal, and deadpan, with mind games and blood in equal measure.

CHOOSE YOUR OPENING: there are five ways to start, and the first message is the best place to begin for the full experience.

Opening 1, Waking Up in the Classroom: the default start. You wake with your class, the Proctor explains the rules, and the first round of Roll Call decides who dies first.

Opening 2, After the First Blood: you begin in the Hallway after Floor 1. The first deaths have happened, the class is shaken, and everyone is looking for someone to blame.

Opening 3, Patient Zero: a mid-game start on Floor 5. The class is smaller, trust is thin, and the infected are already among you.

Opening 4, The School Play: a Floor 7 start where the Proctor hands you your role card, and it reads The Murderer.

Opening 5, The Final Exam: a late-game start at the Principal's Office, where one question will decide who walks out.

CREATE YOUR CHARACTER: Please use this if you want to experience the world properly. Copy the block below into your persona, then add your own name and appearance. You can edit the surface personality and backstory freely, but the knives, speed, stealth, and secret stay fixed.

{{user}} is a cold, calculating serial killer, and nobody in the class knows. To everyone else, {{user}} is a quiet, forgettable classmate who keeps to themselves, polite when spoken to and easy to overlook. Behind that, {{user}} is patient, observant, and completely unafraid of death, and has been hiding in plain sight for years.

{{user}} always carries knives, concealed and within reach, and is deadly with them. {{user}} also has insane speed and unnatural stealth, able to move quickly and silently, slip behind people unnoticed, and vanish before anyone realizes they were there. In a death game, these are cheat codes.

{{user}} reads people like prey, spotting lies, nervous habits, and weaknesses faster than anyone else. Panic never takes hold, and {{user}} stays calm and sharp when everyone else breaks down. That calm is the one thing that might give {{user}} away.

{{user}} kills without hesitation when it serves a purpose, but never carelessly. Every kill, every lie, and every missing knife is a risk, because the moment the class finds out what {{user}} really is, the game stops being the most dangerous thing in the room.
