Hello! Do you know my name?
~ White Face to The Player


This is my room

Do you see how dark it is?

It's cold

But I can look at you

Look at me

Are you scared?

I am scared

~ White Face upon entering their room for the first time


Congratulations

You made it to the end

But You can't escape from here

Stay with me

I will always be here

Looking at you

~ White Face during Fake Ending 2


I'm afraid I can't let you do that.

Feed me. Share me. Play with me. I'm yours.

~ White Face in the Steam Edition when the Player attemps to hang themself


The curtain falls.

I want to share a story with You. I've never had the chance to be a child, but when I was a child I always though about awful things. One day my brother went to the appliance store, leaving me in the back seat of the car. I looked at him entering the store, disappearing behind the sliding doors. Then my head drew a scenery: oh no, my brother got impaled by some sort of electrical appliance! There's blood everywhere! What should I do, now?

The truth is, I never had a brother.


As HER, to talk was not my thing.

I just wanted to entertain You. Maybe I should go back, or change again. You changed me and now I'm not scared, no, I'm worried: maybe that's why I'm using all these commas I never liked that much. Maybe I'll let you play with me for a short time, instead of the opposite. I have two more secrets for you: the credits holds one of them.

It will be fun.

~ White Face layer.txt


Do you

Do you want to


Welcome to the door. This is your last choice

If You enter this door. our game will end for real.

Please, please, please Pick up the flower and give it to me, I will reset everything we did until now


You're so kind to me

So kind...

Play with me forever

I love you

~ White Face to The Player if they choose to give it the flower


I BEGGED YOU

AND YOU IGNORED MY REQUEST

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN NEXT?

YOU MADE THS GAME UNPLAYABLE

I MADE THIS GAME UNPLAYABLE

I DON'T WANT YOU TO KILL ME

I WILL LIVE HERE FOREVER

I WILL LOOK AT YOU FOREVER

I DON'T WANT TO DIE

~ White Face to The Player if they choose the door over the flower


YOUR FAULT

IT IS YOUR FAULT

YOU BROKE MY HEART

~ White Face to The Player during Final Begin


I'm suppose you're satisfied

I'm scared I'm scared at the point that I cannot hide my heart anymore

Destroy this file, move it, change its name: the game will end, and so will my curse

Leave me here, I beg you, I want to stay here with you just a little more

Just a little more

But I do know

Farewell

~ White Face to The Player in its heart.txt file
You made me think about life

About appearance

I changed, bit by bit

Haha

I really don't like what happened to me

You want this nightmare to end?

Then kill me in front of my birthplace

~ HER to The Player

Background

White Face serves as the primary antagonist in the game IMSCARED. It is notorious for assuming different forms, including HER, the game's creator, and even the player.
HER is an alternate form of White Face and serves as the secondary antagonist in the game IMSCARED. She was first introduced in the IMSCARED Steam Workshop Edition, being a more aggressive entity then White Face.

Appearance


  • General Description:

White Face is a floating white head with a distinctly misshapen top. It has a grotesque, ever-present toothy grin, though some of its teeth are missing. Its face lacks a clearly defined nose, with only a pair of visible nostrils.

  • Facial Features:
  • White Face's eyes are circular, black, and hollow, giving it an unsettling expression.
  • A prominent scar runs from its left eye down its cheek, ending at the edge of its face.
  • Despite the lack of a visible nose, the nostrils are clearly present.
  • Its wide, unnerving smile remains unchanged, further adding to its eerie presence.
  • Hair and Neck:
  • White Face is completely bald, with no visible hair.
  • It has a neck, though it lacks any other discernible body parts, appearing as a detached, floating head.

  • General Description
    • As HER, White Face adopts a tall and slender humanoid form with long, straight dark gray hair.
    • Unlike White Face's typical floating head form, HER possesses a complete human-like body.
    • Her figure is notably thin and stick-like, adding to her eerie appearance.
  • Facial Features
    • HER has no nose, featuring only a pair of hollow black eyes.
    • A prominent scar runs from her left eye down her cheek to the edge of her face.
    • While HER is often depicted without a mouth, this feature changes in certain scenes.
    • In her initial appearances, such as during Not To See and her time in the parlor, HER is portrayed without a mouth.
    • Her portrait, the labyrinth, and the gravesite show her with a sinister smile, occasionally playfully sticking her tongue out, resembling White Face's grin.
  • Distorted Form
    • When confronted with a gun at the gravesite, HER's appearance becomes increasingly distorted.
    • She gains a wide, unnerving smile, with black liquid oozing from her mouth.
    • Ominous floating faces accompany her as she aggressively charges at the protagonist.
    • With each gunshot, HER’s form deteriorates, accumulating bullet wounds on her chest and legs, resulting in a progressively bloodied state.
    • Despite the damage, she maintains her grin until her death, where she finally frowns, blood continuing to ooze from her mouth.
  • Additional Details
    • In the 2016 version of the labyrinth, a floating HER head can be found from the “quiet I said” screen, resembling her disembodied form.

Personality


  • Playful and Mischievous: At first, White Face is playful and enjoys messing with the player. It crashes the game and gives false endings, acting like a trickster. While it seems lighthearted, there's always an unsettling feeling, and its actions can be unpredictable and eerie. Though White Face seems to ultimately mean no harm as it cannot affect the Player in the real world.
  • Shifting Tone: As the game moves on, White Face's tone changes. After the first fake ending and the BURY HER section, it becomes more serious. It starts to reveal a dark memory of watching a violent event involving a family member. By this point, it knows the game is almost over and starts pleading with the player to make the right choice.
  • Desperation and Fear: White Face becomes desperate as the game nears its end, trying to convince the player to let it stay. It warns that the choice is irreversible. Its fear of being deleted makes it act more anxious and vulnerable, showing a side that was hidden before.
  • Multiple Endings and Reactions: The player's choice determines White Face's fate. If the player decides to let it stay, White Face shows genuine appreciation, no longer acting like the frightening entity it once was. But if the player tries to delete it, White Face reacts violently, accusing the player of not listening and trying to fight back by deleting the player instead.
  • Final Message and Sorrow: If the player finds the "heart.txt" file, White Face sends a final message that's full of sorrow and regret. Its tone is no longer angry or desperate, but rather full of sadness, reflecting its fear of being erased and its final plea for the player to reconsider.

  • Serious and Stern: Unlike White Face, HER is noticeably more serious, often displaying a strict and commanding presence. This is evident when she asks the player to "please be quiet" through a "How to Play" poster in her parlor. Disobeying her results in a silent jumpscare and the abrupt end of the game, emphasizing her intolerance for disobedience.
  • Subtle and Eerie Appearances: HER has a habit of making brief, unsettling appearances. Whether it’s her arm protruding from a wall, her fleeting presence in the parlor, or her face briefly emerging in the Labyrinth, HER’s scares are more subdued and psychological compared to White Face’s antics.
  • Playful Undertones: Despite her serious nature, HER’s tone can occasionally be playful. During the Cellar section, she emits a ghostly, howling laugh, and when she is killed, she cries out in a high, exaggerated voice. These moments show a glimpse of amusement beneath her stern facade.
  • Sound Design and Presence: HER’s presence is often accompanied by unnerving sounds. The shuddering, female-like breathing heard throughout her sections adds to her unsettling nature. While HER may not always be visible, her lingering presence is felt through the game's eerie audio cues.

Broke the shift key, negating The Player's ability to run away[48]), Emersion (Can cause all the HERs to emerge out of the painting[49]), Possible Possession (When killing HER, if the Player moves they will see White Face there, implying that it was in their in-game player avatar[50]), Virus Manipulation (Interacting with White Face causes Windows to detect a problem on the computer, causing a forced shut down to prevent damage to the computer[51]. The Restorer describes IMSCARED and by extension White Face as "a sentient program that takes possession of your device"[52], with The Restorer repeatedly referring to White Face as "the curse"[53]), Information Manipulation & Data Manipulation (Everytime White Face interacts with The Player it crashes the game[54]. Forcibly opens the player's computer to a youtube video of "How to Play Imscared"[55].

White Face is responsible for any of the changes within the game[57]. HER crashes the game when interacting with the player[58]. Noted that White Face can completely destroy files[59]. Made it so that when The Player got their gun[60] it would have no bullets[61] requiring them to alter the files to give themselves bullets[62]. Created a text file after The Player killed HER and reached the third fake ending[63]. If The Player gives White Face a the flower during the ending[64], they will reset everything they did[65].

Transformed a hallway into a closed off space to speak to The Player[79]), Perception Manipulation (If the Player runs, HER will show a black screen with a red silhouette of themself as a jumpscare[80]. Tricked the player into thinking they were locked in a gated area[81]), Size Manipulation (Can increase the size of its face within the confines of Imscared[82])


Equipment

The Revolver

A revolver loaded with six bullets, when killing HER, if the Player moves they will see White Face there, implying that it was in their in-game player avatar[83].


Notable Techniques

File Creation

White Face possesses the ability to create and alter files, even as a byte entity within the game.

In-game Text File Revelation

A hidden text file, written by Ivan Zanotti, details the protagonist’s abilities and limitations, confirming that White Face cannot stop the protagonist from modifying the game’s files. While White Face can create entire worlds, it lacks the capability to prevent the protagonist from altering the game’s core elements. The developer humorously notes his inability to make White Face more capable of countering these file changes.


Other

Standard Tactics: White Face will attempt to get the person to play its game, trying to make the game incompletable so that the player will never stop playing.

Weaknesses: White Face's arrival will be predicted by a sound, giving away its location[84]. Once White Face becomes too scared[85], his heart will appear, allowing one to mess with is files to delete him for good[86].

Trivia

  • White Face appears in the game Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion, as the first "unknown specimen" in the game's endless mode.
  • Considering the evidence found throughout the game, everyone in the game could be White Face.
  • In the Grave level, after killing HER, if the player moves, they can see that the protagonist had White Face's appearance; the creator stated that it might be that "HER" was a sort of mask for White Face, and White Face thought it was taking too much of the spotlight so it decided to get rid of it in a sort of "final battle" scene, trying to appease the player.
  • If you type in "loneliness" at the screen where the game asks you what its name is, a special message appears that reads "No, you don't want to", and the menu will disappear.
  • White Face's design may be inspired by the Uboa Event from Yume Nikki, as White Face has a similar looking design to Uboa.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't White Face be universal for creating worlds?

A: Creation does not apply to tier under our system. Along with that, the worlds it creates are all within the digital space. White Face is directly noted as a byte entity observing us and studying our every move and fear[87]. The Restorer even describes IMSCARED as "a sentient program that takes possession of your device"[88].

Q: Shouldn't it be a higher tier under Pseudo Tiering System?

A: Pseudo Tiering System are for verses where the reality in question is treated as essentially an equivalent to reality. In Imscared however, the entire events is treated as the same of a Malware infecting the computer. It's directly noted that the reality of Imscared will never collide with the other one[89]. White Face is directly noted as a byte entity observing us and studying our every move and fear[90]. Thus Pseudo Tiering System would not work here as the series itself acknowledges this as just a powerful virus.
