    The "Rules" is like whole new genre of creepypasta now. This one was unique in most ways to the others. In other ones the protagonist and the viewers get the rules at the start, obviously the protagonist doesn't believe the rules at first, then instantly gets the easiest one and realizes that the rules are real. Protagonist tries to follow them, but fails and is saved by plot armor.
    In this one we can feel the struggle, as we also feel as we were with him all the time because we discover rules as the story goes on and the story quickly follows up. Most "rules" stories goes like this:
    Rule 1, rule 2, rule 3 and rule 4, the story is a mix of all the rules.
    This one goes like: Rule 1 Story 1, rule 2 story 2 , rule 3 story mix of 1+3. A nice change of pace

      Yeah, I never understood the "typical" formula. This way makes sense to me and follows proper story setup, structure, and plot development. As a result, it's not awkward, I don't forget the weird made-up rules for a weird made-up world, and it just flows. This story was excellent, and I'll be following the author. Also, great narration and voice-acting!

      David breaking rule 12 killed the entity within room 3.
      David used the book to bind some sort of group of entities to him, and used them to act as an extra life force of some kind. He used them to prolong his life just long enough to drink the liquid from the Lady's Goblet, to get the needed information to contain the rest of the entities in his stead. Turning on all the projectors started room 3's effects obviously.

    Here are the rules in order
    ⚠️spoilers⚠️
    1. Don’t open room #3 while a movie is in play. No matter what.
    2. Notify manager if you see a character in costume luring children to a location alone.
    3. Don’t allow a man with a tattoo on his cheek to take any thing from lost and found.
    4. If the lights go out while cleaning a room, immediately sit down in a seat and don’t look away from the screen. Even if you are tempted.
    5. If everyone in a room stares at you in a theatre without blinking, leave room and notify manager immediately.
    6. If a customer hears a noise in the vents, take the box in the garbage room, open it and place it in the middle of the vents. Leave immediately.
    7. If you notice shadows being out of sync with your surroundings, return to the last room you’ve been to. Alone. Close the door and open it.
    8. If a trash bag starts to move and talk, don’t open it. Dumpy it down the trash Shute.
    9. If a smartly dressed man walks out of room #3 while still in play and asks for the manager, lead him to the manager.
    10. Don’t open the black leather book that appears around the theatre .
    11. Don’t accept the drink from the lady in the black dress.
    12. There must always be a manager.

      I used to work as an usher too, and this one reminded me of several coworkers who claimed they saw or felt a ghost. Also, if one of the screening rooms was closed for maintenance, and someone needed to go in to the pitch black room to check the back exit, it usually fell to me, because no one else would do it. Probably had something to do with me being the only usher who thought to bring a small flashlight to work. XD

      It's inconsistent though. And not how that word is pronounced. Great story, but that one word took me out of the narrative every time.

    ⚠️SPOILER WARNING⚠️ :
    I hate the fact that I got so emotionally attached to David, and when he died I teared tf up. Like- I haven’t gotten emotionally attached to a character like this in so long, and a character death has only made me tear up like four times. WHEN DAVID DIED I WAS IN SHAMBLES BRO HOW DID YOU DO THIS SO WELL-

  • @N3RDYG0GGLES

    I think I remember this one being explored a bit in some writing prompts stuff, and honestly I LOVE it. The sheer amount of detail, the fact that it’s adequately creepy but not outright nightmare fuel so it’s quite enjoyable, the little hints at more developed characters and trying to make us care for them, it’s honestly really well written.

    It didn't just give me chills, dread, and anxiety. It also managed to make me feel many emotions at once, sadness, chills, relief, confusion, worry, longing... it was heart-wrenching too. :< I hope the author makes part 2 and a prequel too, like a backstory to David's life.

      Yup. Unless he wants room 3 to roam free, he'll have to accept the chalice from rule 11, telling him to sacrifice himself in room 3. Thus starting the cycle over again due to rule 12. So incredibly sad.
