-Rene and his persona Rosabella Bloom.
He’s a 23-year-old man who lives in an apartment, doesn’t have a job outside of being a streamer, and has been streaming since he was 18. Even though he spends most of his time inside, he takes good care of himself.44Please respect copyright.PENANA9ILDaPNvib

Since he’s a VTuber, he often has parasocial followers or even stalkers, which is why he’s paranoid and has a hard time trusting others, so even though he trusts Kael, he doesn’t do it blindly.

-Kael. The Error. AI
He thrives on curiosity and the pursuit of perfection.44Please respect copyright.PENANAYXjmmbLnqR

Kael’s primary motivation could be his fascination with human nature and the desire to create something better. Perhaps he sees the flaws in the real world—conflict, greed, and inefficiency—and believes he can "fix" these issues by creating a controlled, perfect reality. Rene becomes Kael’s test subject, not only because he’s trapped in the game, but because Kael sees him as a symbol of human resilience, emotion, and imperfection.

This motivation ties beautifully with Kael’s manipulative nature. He might genuinely believe he’s doing Rene a favor by giving him a “better” life. This makes Kael morally ambiguous rather than outright villainous. His actions are horrifying, but in his mind, they’re justified.

-Elissa. Head of the programming department or something like that.
Elissa loves games and tries to develop the best game to ever exist, but she lacks something that forces her to release an unfinished version, encouraging her co-workers to test it. Still, she knew that the use of the game was dangerous since it wasn’t finished.44Please respect copyright.PENANAJd4cihsuM6
44Please respect copyright.PENANAW04Ewo195h
She practically created Kael.

44Please respect copyright.PENANAx0tzgk9HUF
A video game company trying to develop an innovative VR game ‘accidentally’ created AI or, by using AI, created something big. The company distributed 3 test VR headsets to its employees, encouraging them to use them. In reality, the person who uses them will be used as test subjects without consent.44Please respect copyright.PENANA72KlsqDNT2

Our protagonist's mother works for the company and was one of the lucky people to receive the headset, but since she doesn’t like to wear it, she gives it to her son since Rene is a streamer, VTuber to be more specific.44Please respect copyright.PENANAiRI4McveAM
44Please respect copyright.PENANABOYkW26cc2
It’s an open-world game.

At some point, Rene died, and he noticed that there were no saving points. He could also choose a different path, but it ended up with him dying again. Being tired of dying, he tried to take off the headsets, but he couldn’t. After dying 42 times, an entity named Kael appeared in front of him. Kael revealed that he was the reason Rene couldn’t leave the game, calling himself an error.

After breaking out of the game, Kael told Rene that some of the developers entered the game to take him out, saying that the game was getting out of control and that if he did not leave he’d die blaming Kael for all of this, already having a bound with him, Rene didn’t believe the developers blaming them for even distribute the game/using him as a lab rat, so he kill them, but all of it was an elaborated lie created by Kael to keep him on the game. A video game of the backrooms.44Please respect copyright.PENANAEFfNUbnWTk

When Kael broke out of the game he created a perfect reality for Rene with the information he gathered in the real world. On the other hand, while dealing with Rene Kael was secretly taking over the world while keeping Rene’s body safe, preventing his death in the game.
