ok ok stay with me here.
Žimer, but like, in one of those pixel style/old graphics horror games like FAITH or Sanatarium. maybe a secret-ending character, one you have to get with certain actions. or even just one that sets the tone, an NPC with a sprite that shocks the player at first, but quickly they grow familiar, or even comfortable, with that smile gazing into them through text boxes. i need to see this character in that pixel art style i am DYING to see it.
