=== Appearance ===
screensaver is a yellow 3D surreal sphere with two blue spheres for the eyes and a blue, rounded 3D mouth that appears to smile. It has reflecting lights on the eyes, mouth, and head, and the image is pixelated and dithered, even though the original source was formatted in .A8.
In the game, the bottom pixels and left side of the spherical face were partially cropped, with the majority being pixel-accurate. The image has a subtle Gaussian blur while preserving the colors.

=== Audio ===
screensaver emits a bunch of Windows XP error messages just like idiot. It also emits what seems to be a knock on the PC at the beginning, and screensaver's jumpscare is a computer shutting down, followed by a short melody.

=== Image ===
screensaver's image comes from a discontinued Windows 95 screensaver 3D Maze, where the "player" navigates the empty brick maze with rats and a polyhedric gray rock, which has an ability to change the world upside down. If you click on the smiley face, it will restart everything, sending you back to the spawn location at an infinite loop.

=== Audio ===
screensaver's suggested audio is a Ryan Cox's music "The Clavicle" that was released in 2023 along with the album Ruined Portal. The in-game Proximity audio is the "window error meme." That's the same audio as idiot's Jumpscare audio.
screensaver's Jumpscare audio came from the Windows XP shutdown sound effect.

==Trivia ==
* screensaver was suggested by TrainingConquest in the #nextbots-suggestions channel; it would've played "The Clavicle", composed by Ryan Cox, as proximity audio. However, after it was released on May 19th, 2023, screensaver now uses the Windows XP error sound effect, usually reused from idiot's jumpscare audio. Training Conquest is also the one who suggested you, DO NOT, bear 5, gravity coil, and ufo.
