Protagonist (Menagerie: Archive)

The protagonist of Menagerie: Archive is never seen, but directly addressed in a few of Doctor Money's letters. He works inside an enclosed room of the archive, which his job includes delivering archive files to citizens of higher rank and distributing money to citizens of lower rank. He is assigned rank 81. The resistance has addressed the citizens with rank lower than 80 (with a higher number than 80), and it claims they are the bottom-class of the society.

Over the seven days of working in the archive, he may meet several characters/parties via mailed messages, including Dr. Money, his secretary Morayne, three citizens with lower rank than the protagonist: Harvey, Rebecca, Claire, and the resistance. Same as in previous games, he is unable to contact most of the characters, and can only communicate via limited means, including accepting and denying orders and buying from shop.

If the protagonist continuously denies to deliver archives (for three days not necessarily consecutive), Dr. Money will fire him, sending him to a designated room which he can only send letters to beg for money, and starves to death soon after. From the information of ending 7 and Claire's position, it is possible the protagonist is demoted, marking the citizens below rank 81 equivalent to beggars. He may also starve to death if he does not buy food for several days.

He may buy decorations apart from the food supply. If he manages to buy out the store and gives all remaining archives to Dr. Money in day 7, he will be promoted to rank 80, allowed to leave the archive and choose his occupation and a place to live. If he does not buy out the store, he will remain to work at the archive room.

If he refuses to give all the archives to Dr. Money in day 7, he will either be killed by Claire armed with a gun, or be poisoned from the gas released from the drains of his room, the gas was ordered by Dr. Money in order to execute him. He would die from poisoning, being called a coward by an unknown individual; or from explosion if he winds the walking toy gifted by Morayne, which spews spark and ignites the gas, which the explosion also destroys all remaining archives in the room, and he dies a hero protecting the resistance.
