# Scratch

"Oh boy! (Name) I'm so glad you could make it to "Party Night"

-Scratch welcoming the player the first playthrough

"Now Pico, I heard you talking for a second. Anything you wanna add...?"

-Scratch subtly threatening Pico knowing what Pico was trying to say.

"It's just US tonight..."

"You made a stupid decision playing this game!"

-Scratch acknowledging you not leaving the game after warning you.

Scratch is the main antagonist of Party Night. He is an orange and white variation of the OG Scratch-Cat mascot. He is also the main character/protagonist of the Party Night game itself with him being the star of it. He is haunted by past players who've played the game before you and when starting the game is haunted by Player #13.

### Origins:

Before the game, he was the main icon and star of "Party Night" a interactive simulator where you and Scratch's friends rock out and party the whole night. However sometime later a creature known as "Oni" possessed the game and took the form of Scratch Cat. From that point forward: Anyone that played the game would become possessed and trapped inside the game. 13 people being trapped in the game prior to the events of the game.

### Player 13/Gameplay 1-3:

   When starting the game we see a dummy with nothing on it sitting slumped next to Scratch. Who asks us what our name is and our favorite drinks candies and etc. Then the actual game begins with us at the party first. Then Tera, Nano and Pico arrive as well. Pico as he tries to warn us about the game, Scratch cuts him off and asks him to finish what he was going to say only for Pico to breath very heavily and go quiet. Scratch, knowing what really was happening murders Pico and locks him inside the closet. Scratch asks us what we wanna play and assists that Pico just left the party. When the player goes to the living room we're forced to play spin the bottle along with a Pico imposter Scratch made. Then the game ends. When we play the 2nd time Scratch say's that Pico moved away, and tells us to play Spin the Bottle. If the player checks the closet, Pico will be missing depending on if we found him before or not. However when we play spin the bottle, it aims at everyone but Scratch, angering him. Tera and Nano start haunting Scratch reminding him that he killed Pico. Crashing the game. On the third game, we are immediately pushed into playing spin the bottle with just Scratch. He tells us that he waited for too long to get out of the game and forces us to spin the bottle so we can swap bodies and become victim 14. We spin it and are taken over by the monster and sucked into the game. Cutting to the start of the game with a new player.

### PLAYER 14:

If you continue to play after playing the game 3 times, the player will be given a warning at the start that they remember what happened before. With Tera and Nano dead and begging you to quit the game. If the player continues through Scratch will be frustrated that the player didn't leave the game after giving you the warnings revealing that he is the one that set up Tera and Nano's bodies in the living room. He will give you an option to continue the cycle of spinning the bottle, crashing the game or delete him. If the player deletes him, he will scream in agony begging for you to stop and the game ends. Crashing the game just immediately ends everything. Spinning the bottle continues the cycle with the player becoming the 15th victim. It's unknown what happens to everyone else after you delete the game.

### Misc:

* The name "Oni" is a type of demon that manifests evil tendencies in murdering and cannibalism (it's implied that he feeds you Pico's finger in the first gameplay)
* On the third gameplay title screen we can catch a glimpse of The Oni's face replacing Scratch's face and above the word "Party" there's the word BLOODY.
* At the end of the first through gameplay we see a glimpse of Scratch ripping off his face and placing it on the empty dummy implying that's how the dummies become Scratch ￼
* At the final gameplay of each run the first line Scratch says when we play spin the bottle shows that Player 13 is talking and then Player 14 on the 2nd run.
