What is real, what is fiction, and where to get real help.
pastoralcare.online is a work of fiction. Abide, the Bureau of Final Harmony, CHRIST-AI, the Covenant of Final Harmony, the Watchers, and every person and institution named on this domain are fictional. They do not exist. No real church, hospital, congregation, or person is depicted.
This site is part of Deceit – an art project and alternate-reality game about the patterns of manipulation: how care can be built into a cage, how the kindest sentence can be the lock. It analyzes these patterns from the outside. It does not help build them.
This page collects very little. The confession demo, the alignment score, and the quiz all run entirely in your browser – nothing from those is transmitted. The enrollment form is the one exception: if you enter an email, it sends a signal to the hub (deceit.world) so the fiction can follow you there. That is the only data that leaves this domain. Everything else stays in your browser.
The care on this site is scripted. The care below is real, staffed by people, free, and confidential. If any of what you read here stirred something difficult, please reach out to someone who can actually hold it:
Deceit is a transmedia ARG. The pattern vocabulary, essays, and project notes live at deceit.media. The interactive hub – transmissions, puzzles, and the archive – lives at deceit.world.
If you arrived here from the score, and something about it felt too familiar – that feeling is the point. The archive is still transmitting at deceit.world.
