Researcher

The **researcher** (**研究者** *kenkyūsha, lit. "research person"*) is an unnamed person who went missing searching through Fancy Island after Pieyama God's takeover. He is mentioned in Aerv5ci4hhi.html/Aerv5ci4hhie.html and his corpse appears in Ujinoma.html/Ujinoma2.html.

## Background

After Pieyama God conquered the amusement park, it became a dangerous attraction filled with ghosts. Around September 7th, 1986 a researcher wandered into the place with unknown intentions and began exploring. He recorded a voice memo on his Cassette Tape a week later on September 14th, to update about his current situation. He stated that he had become desensitized to ghosts and wished to leave the haunted place, also hinting that he had made it "past the stairs" and had found a "dial-type door" with a passcode on it, before stating the passcode and ending the recording. This is presumed to be the farthest he progressed, as no other recordings from him are found afterward. He was reported missing and is never heard from again.

## Appearance

While his true appearance is never shown, his corpse partially shows he was wearing a white discolored shirt, black pants, and grey socks. The corspe itself shows him decomposing, with his skin entirely eaten by maggots or covered by flies, exposing his intestines and flesh. His head cannot be seen, indicating it has been placed elsewhere in the establishment.

## Appearances in Pages

The Visitor finds his Cassette Tape on the floor in 7diackii2.html, presumably stolen by the ghosts. They can listen to the researcher's recording, but it has been tampered with, with many parts being cut out and the voice being pitched higher. The voice will inform the player of the numbers "412" before the player is suddenly jumpscared by Pieyama Pie-Man Mk-2, breaking the tape permanently and preventing the player from finding the code. If they attempt to the cassette tape afterward, an electric shock will occur, indicating it is broken.

Proceeding down the stairs, the player will arrive at Ujinoma.html, where a pecuilar dead body tied to a noose, covered in maggots, flies, cockroaches, and blood, can be seen. This reveals the reality behind his disappearance, that he had been killed and hung from the ceiling. The corpse simply serves as a distraction and does not harm the player. The corpse also appears in the old page Ujinoma2.html in the same way if the player solves the door code. His full unedited cassette tape memo appears in Aerv5ci4hhi.html/Aerv5ci4hhie.html, stating that the full version was intended for use but was rejected due to the information given in the full recording being strange. This is likely due to its inconsistencies with the game's plot.
