Yes, that's right! What if YOU happened upon a cursed village, or a forbidden island?

What traces of you would be left behind for survivors to discover? How to create an archive item is simple:

- Take a normal size photo of one of your possessions. This object must be specific to you, or indicate your back story outside of the nightmarish Siren world.

- Write a brief description, or re-write what is written on the archive item. If there is extra info, such as hidden text or a symbol closer in the picture (i.e., the unidentified object in the sky behind the Hanuda Mine workers), post another picture zoomed into said hidden item which info was given. You can even include something helpful to other "survivors" who found it, such as the combination for a student's locker, hospital room number to find an item to progress, etc.

EDIT: - ALSO! You can do what shibito did, and include location of discovered archive item. It could've been on the ground, in a storm drain, dropped by a Shibito Brain, etc.

A folder of papers, a badly damaged photograph and a Sony 1 GB memory stick found in a torn bag under a tree. The folder consists of many papers, each titled, "Hanuda Villager Interview". The first paper has scribbled writing on it as if someone was in a hurry writing it. The memory stick holds backups of the documents and the photo is damaged by red water and is torn in several places, also containing scribbled writing. [More]

POCKET COMPOSITION BOOK


A pocket-sized composition notebook that is perfect for travel. It contains 80-count sheets of lined paper. On the cover of the book, the word "Archive" is written in Japanese katakana.

There are many dated entries, with almost illegible handwriting detailing each day. Names and certain nouns are in Japanese katakana, as the same with the closing statements of each day. Observing carefully marks that the journal was written in a panic.



One specific excerpt from the composition book. It's dated October 24th. The entry is written in Japanese. Once translated, the line

"I'm sorry ... Douglas,"

is repeated over and over. The final line reads,

"Douglas ... Please."
