Project "Copper"

Project "Copper" is a hallucination that emerged from John's brain damage. He serves as one of the many hazards of the game, Try To Fall Asleep.

## Background

The background of Copper can be found in the 1st night dream, on a poster on the wall of the greenhouse observation corridor. When interacted with, it will display the following text:

*Project "Copper" was a biological experiment that was conducted on a human test subject.*

*The intent was to research the limit of cybernetics.*

*The test subject's right hand, left leg, and most of the organs, except the brain, got replaced with cybernetic counterparts.*

*The name COPPER was chosen by the sheer amount of electronics in the body and how the skin had rotten similar to the color of copper oxidation.*

*At start the test subject was cooperative and communicative, but later the test subject stopped communicating.*

*It didn't show any emotions, reactions to pain or mental stimuli.*

*The test subject eventually committed suicide by ripping an arterial blood vessel.*

Copper was a decommissioned soldier who had sustained heavy injuries in combat. The premises of the experiment was to test military grade cybernetic technologies on a human test subject, with the goal being to improve Copper's condition, enhance his psychical capabilities and test the limitations of cybernetic technologies (as aforementioned).

During the "Copper Incident", the RA-1 complex, where Copper's cell was located, was planned to be demolished and the Revivel's Secret Research Committee proposed to keep Copper within his cell during the demolition. This would result in his death, as well as his body being hidden beneath the debris. The plan was hesitantly accepted, as it resolved time and confidentiality concerns regarding the project. After investigation of the incident, it was revealed that Copper had learned of the plan, leading to his mental breakdown and escape attempt.

The emergency brigade was called on to resolve the situation, however an unnamed Revivel employee, simply designated as Employee ID-12758, was assigned to pursue Copper and document his mental condition before the emergency brigade arrived. Copper would roam the facility, likely in a state of shock, at first producing short screams with quick, sharp breaths in between. His screams would gradually become louder and more pronounced as he then began to take out his anger on his surroundings, heard loudly knocking over objects. He would then flee into a tunnel towards the D section of the RA-1 facility, producing incoherent noises; some of which resembled calls for help before distortedly beginning to sob. Copper would then proceed to chase down 12758, smashing his head into the wall and effectively murdering him. After the death of 12758, Copper would eventually be tracked down by the emergency brigade before being maneuvered into a dead end. With no way out, Copper committed suicide as earlier mentioned with Employee ID-12758's corpse being located not far from Copper's.

## In-Game

### Falling Asleep

Copper can appear as a hallucination during the falling asleep phases where he stands outside John's window for a certain amount of time.

In night 2, Copper can appear on either side of the bed as a jumpscare hallucination.

### Dream

Copper appears as the main hazard during the 1st and 3rd minigames of the dream of night 1, as well as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd minigames of night 2, in which he is faster than the player's sprint, but turns slow enough to give the player an advantage.

## Trivia

* In the TTFA demo, this monster was named Project "Carl". When its poster is interacted with in the greenhouse observation hallway of the Night 1 dream, it displays similar content to the text above, except it does not mention why the name "Carl" was chosen.
