HR: Human Remains characters
The boss assigns work; Laila appears in key story scenes; the Archivator patrols the Archives; the doctor, bartender and plushie sellers have city tasks. Chihu’s release is followed by the final figurine box.
You are an office clerk living under demonic management. Talk to the people around a task: several NPCs provide a route choice, a side activity or a clue for a collectible.
Who to speak to and why
| Character or role | Where the task leads | Useful next step |
|---|---|---|
| Your boss | Office assignments and the survival ticket | Read the task and the choices before reporting back |
| Laila | Story scenes, including the room after the post-office sequence | Look around that room after the conversation for the Demi figurine |
| The Archivator | Patrols the Archives | Keep the Shadow stealth objective separate from the optional Rodeo task |
| The voice through the archive vent | A file-and-post-office favor in the community route | Read the request before choosing a file; see the choices guide |
| The doctor | Optional city experiment | Search the open cell after the experiment for a figurine |
| The bartender | Cat-related city task | Reach the construction-site rooftop; see the route guide |
| Roy and Mari | Plushie shopping in the community route | Buying a plushie is the New Best Friend task |
| Chihu | Server-room conversations | After the release interaction, inspect the fallen box for the last figurine |
| The stasis demon | Your break room | Part of the early personal-space introduction |
The task links in this table follow the October community achievement route. The developer directly supplies the archive-phone and final-figurine directions. It is a route reference, rather than a complete biography of every person shown in promotional art.
The Archivator: crossing and optional interaction
Shadow requires getting through the Archives without alerting the Archivator. Rodeo is described by players as jumping onto its back. Treat those as different goals: deliberately approaching the patrol for one task can complicate a clean crossing for the other.
Before leaving the Archives, look for the phone in section H and the figurine near Q/R. Neither is a conversation reward from the Archivator. The secrets guide covers the phone's cart-and-balcony route.
Laila and Chihu
After the post-office story sequence, the community checklist places a figurine on a blue container in the room where you speak with Laila. Inspect it after the scene instead of leaving immediately.
Chihu's release belongs to the server-room story. The developer states that a box falls and opens afterward, revealing the last figurine. That explicit pickup condition is more useful for the collectible hunt than guessing relationships from a character's appearance. See all figurines and the route choices.
A conversation is not a universal access requirement
The city construction area has several reported approaches. A hacking-tool route and an upgrade route can reach the same area through different actions. Keep track of what your current character can do before copying another player's jump or door interaction.
