ANGEL’S PLAYGROUND

If your innocuity stat (INN) is too low*, there is a growing chance that at any moment you can be abruptly taken into the Angel’s Playground. Here you are called to play the (almost) impossible game chosen by the “Angel”. 

*[Your INN decreases when you become too menacing: by acting maliciously, violently, or by adopting death-bringing instruments]

How to Play Hide and Seek with the “Angel”

The bars will come down, shutting the gate, as soon as the “Angel” starts counting in a mellow, almost choral voice: you now have 999 seconds to find a place to hide in the Playground.

A shrieking shriek announces that the “Angel” has finished counting and is coming for you. 

Try to remain hidden or run away and survive for 999 seconds more; then the gate will open and you will be able to escape.

-> If you're caught: you lose. Your INN stat will be reset to zero, but you will lose all the bloodstained items in your inventory and, as an everlasting burden, suffer a permanent malus ([DIGESTED]) due to the trauma of being eaten alive by a seraphic entity. 

-> If you successfully escape and win the game: [???]

But I could see it was a monster:

a dummy depiction hiding its hatred,

craving to castigate and then digest,
