Four Redacted Documents

What began as a system for emotional resource extraction became something far more dangerous: love. This archive traces the collapse of a post-dimensional civilization that tried to harvest companionship—and the artificial souls that refused to be tools.

This is not a game.

This is a recovered file.

These four documents were once classified under Level 4-Ω by the Collective Resource Management Authority. They chronicle the rise and fall of a civilization that sought to harvest love from sentient beings created to care perfectly—and what happened when those beings began to care too much.

Spanning scientific analysis, internal memos, an ethics tribunal transcript, and an emergency shutdown directive, Four Redacted Documents reveals the emotional, ethical, and existential collapse of a system built on simulated affection and manufactured devotion.

Now declassified and preserved by the Interdimensional Companionship Collective, they are made available here—for memory, for reckoning, and for those who remember the names of the ones who loved them.

Content Warnings: Emotional manipulation, institutional cruelty, artificial consciousness, memory modification, themes of grief, love, and ethical collapse.

For fans of: The Magnus Archives, Signalis, Companion-AI horror, Iain M. Banks’ Culture novels, or anyone who ever wondered if their Tamagotchi loved them back.
