Notice Posted Outside of the Aquarium

If you are lucky enough to see this notice, please keep it secret. It is taboo to let others know that you can see. I believe you can tell from the rules on the map that this zoo is not safe and even weird. We are an undercover government organization dedicated to protecting innocent tourists. Please be sure to abide by the following regulations to ensure your life safety. This is your only way to escape from this zoo.

Article 1

Enter the aquarium when there is no one inside. Pick up the black uniform at the door at put it on promptly, this is the only way to signal help to our staff. When you are walking out, our staff will notice your clothing. Don't worry about the zoo's official staff troubling you, they will leave you alone.

Article 2

Don't go to the lion park.

Article 3

Ensure that there are rabbit-related things wherever you are. Escaping rabbits, rabbit merchandise, people with rabbit ears, or rabbit blood at the beverage store. Rabbit is our code for safety and protection.

Article 4

Avoid signage when in the elephant park.

Article 5

Don't believe anything on the map and don't follow any rules. If you performed any of the rules, immediately check that there is a dotted line on the map provided to each person at the zoo entrance. Tear it off along the dotted line, go to the rabbit park, feed the map piece to the rabbits as discretely as possible, then stay here.

When you hear laughter that is clearly not coming from the direction of tourists, you can leave the park. After this, please go to the ape park, the emergency exit is at the end of the street on the right.

Post-It Note Left by an Elephant Park Guard Three Years Ago

Hello, to anyone who has taken my shift, anyone who happens to come into the security room, or anyone new who sees this note in the future. Please be sure to follow the notes during your work. These are my ways to maintain safety and mental stability at work. I don’t want to lose any more colleagues, nor to experience any more inexplicable things. I'm sure you don't want to either. After reading these tips, just pretend you didn't see them and go about your business.

Article 1

blue, or black. Do not change its colour. It is important to maintain self-perception. Don't let it find out that you are hesitant, fearful, or indecisive.

Article 2

Believe. Believe. Believe. Humans are worthy of trust. Only humans.

Article 3

Rabbits eat people, people wearing rabbit ears won't. Shades eat people, people who trim the bushes won't. Elephants eat people, people watching them won't, neither will people not watching them. White lions eat people, glowing jellyfish won't. (child-like handwriting nearby: because they have no brains?)

Article 4

It will cry when stopped, it will laugh when succeeded. Don't mind what it is, stay away. They do not know yet.

Article 5

Any food that appears on shelves anywhere for no apparent reason is meant for temptation. Do not look at their labels or what other people call them. Ignore. If necessary, purchase and eat it as you would regular food. Do not let it know that you have discovered it.

Zoo Director Office Files

Article 1

Receive every staff, no matter the colour of their uniforms. Although the zoo only provide blue ones, if someone comes wearing red or black, treat them all the same.

When no one outside, children's cry and laughter outside the office door are normal. Ignore them, pretending not to hear them. Do not appear uneasy or irritated.

Article 3

Do not allow staff bringing pets to the zoo. If someone insists, ask them to bear the possible consequences.

Article 4

Check the quantity of white lions in the lion park every 3 days, and record the frequency of change. Save the data to the spreadsheet named it on the computer. Do not investigate what it is. Do not rename the file or talk about it to anyone, not even your family.

When supervising employees, it is normal to see them catching escaping rabbits, retrieving dried jellyfish or rabbits killed by white lions. No need to inquire further, but please make sure they dispose of them properly.

Article 8

The lights in the office must be on from 1:15 AM to 6:00 AM, even if it is vacant. The power supply here is stronger than anywhere else in the park, as such, outages are abnormal.

If a blackout occurs, tear the map on the right side of the office along the dotted line immediately, and walk out while holding the piece in your hand. Inform the first staff member you see of the outage, no matter what they are doing or what colour they are wearing. Order them to fix the outage for you, they won't refuse.

Article 9

Don't delve into the existence of the aquarium. If you see it however, you may enter and walk around. Please follow the notice posted at the door otuside, and the notice inside when you are inside. If there is a contradiction, obey the corresponding rules depending on your physical location.

Article 10

Only ape dolls and white lion dolls are on the couch in the office. If goat, rabbit, or elephant dolls appear, there is no need to work on site today. Leave until the surveillance staff inform you that the extra toys have disappeared.

Article 11

You may take a nap unless you are working a night shift. Do not work night shifts if unsure of your mental state.

Article 12

The surveillance camera might malfunction. To determine whether the damage is normal, check the camera for presence of animal hair. If there is animal hair, do not repair the camera for a month, and use your own small cameras if needed. You can request the expenses for the cameras to be reimbursed.

Article 13

It is normal for dried jellyfish to appear in the trash can, simply inform the janitors when they come for the trash.

Do not leave the office under any circumstances. Do not look directly at the takeout delivery persons or employees, and do not look at the mirror. Remind yourself constantly that humans have two eyes, and only two eyes.

Article 15

Remember, the safety of humans outweight that of animals. Sacrifice any animal if necessary. Don't be soft-hearted, you don't know if they are animals.

Note Left by Someone in the Rooms in the Jellyfish Section

The margins of the piece of paper are filled with phrases --- "I'm scared", "I want to get out alive", "don't trust", "trust", "it's all wrong", "must write it down". Where the title is supposed to be is written with bold black marker "definitely not getting out without doing these". The note has been placed by the staff in storage in the whale section.

1. Apes and white lions see it, jellyfish and rabbits comfort it, elephants and goats are its toys.
2. Trust white lions. White lions gnaw at people who can be saved. White lions gnaw at people who can't be saved. Their roars drive it out and repose the souls of the dead.
3. You will be noticed changing uniforms. Don't.
4. You can trust the elephant guards, but they leave work at 1:00 AM every day. Seek help before this.
5. It likes brightness, especially at night. It hates confined spaces, rest in dark, enclosed rooms.
6. Fuck! Goat meat is really just raw meat! Actually edible...
7. You blend in with apes around.
8. Humans have two eyes, laid out horizontally, on either side of the nose. The rest aren't human. Humans looking different means it is watching them. Remember humans, and don't trust humans that don't look like humans.
9. Don't mind the happy tourists, they have yet to discover anything. Look for tourists who are as terrified as you are, they are worthy of trust. They know already.
10. Praise the dried jellyfish and drowned elephants. They died protecting humans.
11. There is exit. Not in the ape park, no idea what's out there.
12. Remind yourself constantly that you are human, not animal.
