Smiler
ENT-001
Two eyes and a grin suspended in darkness. Watching it drains sanity; looking away allows it to close the distance much faster.
The Face Is All You See
Smilers are not drawn by sound. Direct observation costs sanity, but breaking eye contact allows the entity to approach in near silence and may end in a short, close-range charge.
Light as Restraint
A light source specifically capable of restraining a Smiler can halt it briefly, and M.E.G. smoke can interfere with it. Ordinary illumination must not be mistaken for a control device.
Community Record and Local Variant
Both Fandom and Wikidot records centre the luminous face in darkness and some form of response to light, but they disagree on whether ordinary light attracts, repels, or harms the entity. Backrooms VR keeps the shared visual language while its verified rules remain sanity loss, faster approach outside direct observation, and restraint by designated high-intensity equipment.
