About This Demo

Iris Solutions hired you to copy what the projector shows, word for word. Eight hours. No errors. If the slides ask you questions, do not respond.



The sign on the office wall reads DAYS WITHOUT A CONTAINMENT INCIDENT: 00. By day two, the words on the slide are not the ones you started typing.



Then there is a door where there was a wall.



ARCHIVAL SECURITY is an analog horror typing game about a job that watches you back. Severance's office, Control's bureaucracy of the impossible, and a building that lies to you like House of Leaves.

Copying projected slides into a terminal, word for word, for eight hours.

No. The work is quiet, it's indoors, and nobody will ask you questions.

What is on the slides?
Entity S9782. Hazard level: REDACTED.

What if I make a mistake?
Nothing will stop you. Deviations are recorded.

MANDATORY CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES

1. Always transcribe the text exactly as you see it, word for word.
   
2. If you perceive that the slides are asking you questions, do not respond.
   
3. Never attempt to open or enter the door at the end of the projection room.
   
4. Some employees begin to notice personal details of their lives within the text. If this occurs, continue writing.
   
5. Your assigned shift is exactly 8 hours. If you perceive that several weeks or months have passed, disregard this sensation.
   
6. In the event of a sudden projector power failure, you are required to continue transcribing from memory.

REMEMBER RULE NUMBER 3.

S9782 is a manuscript on acrylic paper, several pages long, written for projection hardware nobody manufactures anymore. Every transcriptionist who sat in this chair before you read it too.

Reading it is not a neutral act. The text does not sit still and get copied. It pays attention. The more of it you read, the more of you it has.
