infoDescription

Entity 228, AKA "Vynuis," is a rare humanoid entity of unknown origin. Reports commonly describe the entity as a young girl with black and white hair, eyes displaying rainbow-like colors, and a simple white dress. An infinity-shaped halo is consistently observed floating above eir head, while colorful ribbons of light continuously drift around eir body as though suspended in water.

Most reports concerning Vynuis focus not on the entity itself but on the unusual phenomena that occur after eir departure. One wanderer in Level 11 reported completing their first sketch after months of being unable to draw. Another individual in Level 4 stated that a sense of hopelessness that had persisted for several weeks disappeared shortly after witnessing a rainbow-colored light within an otherwise empty corridor. In both cases, witnesses described the appearance of an unfamiliar young girl shortly before these events occurred.

Vynuis rarely initiates conversation. When approached, ei typically respond with only a few brief words or a gentle nod before departing. Several reports have also documented the entity spending hours wandering within the same area before leaving without any apparent explanation.

To date, no hostile behavior associated with Entity 228 has ever been recorded.

scienceBiology

Entity 228 possesses an appearance similar to that of a human adolescent, appearing to be approximately 17–18 years old and standing at an estimated height of 5 ft 4 in. The entity's most recognizable features include black and white hair, rainbow-colored eyes, and an infinity-shaped halo constantly suspended above eir head.

Vynuis is commonly observed wearing a white dress accompanied by several rainbow-colored ribbons draped around eir body. These ribbons appear to move gently even in the absence of wind and are considered one of the entity's most recognizable characteristics.

Colorful ribbon-like lights resembling rainbows are frequently observed surrounding Vynuis. These phenomena possess no fixed shape and continuously shift and change as the entity moves. Their origin remains unknown.

Despite being documented across numerous levels throughout the Backrooms, ei has never displayed any significant changes in appearance between sightings. There is currently no evidence suggesting that the entity is affected by aging or environmental conditions.

Current reports consistently describe Vynuis as a non-hostile entity. Most recorded encounters are relatively brief, with the entity often departing the area before extended observation can be conducted.

psychologyBehavior

Most recorded sightings depict Vynuis wandering across various levels without any apparent destination. In several cases, the entity has been observed remaining within the same area for hours before departing without any visible warning. To date, no consistent pattern has been identified regarding eir movements.

Direct interactions with Entity 228 are relatively uncommon. In the majority of documented encounters, Vynuis does not actively approach or communicate with nearby individuals. Many witnesses report that the entity appears indifferent to their presence and will simply continue wandering or leave the area after a period of time.

Despite numerous recorded encounters, no hostile behavior has ever been confirmed to originate from Entity 228.

Several reports have also documented the sporadic appearance of "Star Candy" in areas recently visited by Vynuis. The exact relationship between this phenomenon and Entity 228 remains unknown.

searchDiscovery

The existence of Entity 228 is believed to predate its official documentation by M.E.G. However, the earliest reports only described brief appearances of pastel rainbow lights across various levels, with no associated entity ever being observed. As these reports were isolated, lacked verifiable evidence, and were often dismissed as unreliable rumors or false reports, they were gradually ignored and eventually forgotten. It was not until 2026 that, after numerous photographs, audio recordings, and independent reports were cross-referenced, M.E.G. confirmed that all of these incidents were connected to the same entity, officially rediscovering Entity 228.

The following recordings document encounters involving Vynuis:

[RECOVERED AUDIO LOG FROM M.E.G. DEVICE – LOG 228-AD]

Recovery Note: This audio recording was recovered from a damaged M.E.G. radio found inside an abandoned warehouse on Level ██. The owner of the device, Scout Thomas, was reported missing shortly afterward.

(Static interference. Heavy, panicked breathing.)

[00:00:02] Thomas: "M.E.G., do you copy? I'm hiding in the warehouse on the eastern side… My leg was torn up during a Hound attack. I'm out of Almond Water. I don't think… I'll make it through the night. My head feels like it's' splitting open. I'm about to become a Wretch…"

[00:00:45] (A faint rustling can be heard outside the warehouse window. Tiny, cautious footsteps slowly approach the opposite corner of the room.)

[00:01:10] Thomas(whispering, voice trembling): "Something's there… Who's that? No… wait… there's something glowing above its head. Rainbow lights… they're beautiful. It doesn't see me. It just sat down against the wall… What's it doing? It pulled the ribbon wrapped around its body… and it's folding it into a star?"

[00:02:15] (Silence. Only a tiny, distant "mhmh!" can be heard from Vynuis. A faint pastel rainbow light slowly slips through the cracks in the wall, gently illuminating Thomas.)

[00:03:40] Thomas(his voice suddenly calm, almost entranced): "Oh my God… What is this…? My leg… it doesn't hurt anymore. My mind… all the fear, all the despair… it's gone. This feeling… it's so warm. Like… someone's holding me. I'm overflowing with inspiration… I can't remember the last time I genuinely wanted to keep moving forward. I've never felt this peaceful… not since I fell into this godforsaken place."

(The recording fast-forwards. For the next four hours, Thomas can be heard breathing steadily, occasionally mumbling incoherent words in a blissful tone while remaining within the aura.)

[04:12:10] (Soft rustling. After remaining there for hours, Vynuis quietly stands up. Ei casually leaves behind a small patch of Star Candy before timidly running away, seemingly afraid of being noticed.)

[04:13:00] Thomas(voice breaking into panic, scratching violently against the wall): "No no! Don't go! Please… come back! Where did the light go?! Why is it dark again?! Give it back… Give me that peace back! I need it! I can't breathe… It hurts… My memories… my fear… it's all coming back!"

[04:15:35](Frantic footsteps rush after the direction Vynuis fled. The sound of Thomas desperately picking up the remaining pieces of Star Candy and stuffing them into his mouth can be heard.)

[04:16:20] Thomas(crying uncontrollably, voice shaking violently): "The candy… her
candy… There's still a little bit of light left… but it's not enough! I have to find her… Who are you? Where are you? I need to smell that rainbow scent one more time… I have to find you… just one more time…"

(Footsteps rapidly fade into the distance.)

(A loud impact is heard.)

[END OF RECORDING]

Based on the two interview logs above, along with several other isolated and fragmented reports, it can be determined that the perceived appearance of Entity 228 appears to vary depending on the physical and mental condition of the individual at the time of contact. Individuals in a relatively stable condition typically describe Vynuis as a young woman with clearly defined physical features, while those who are severely injured or near death tend to perceive eir only as a brilliant silhouette of light with no distinct physical form.

More notably, several isolated reports have documented cases in which witnesses believed they had seen eir in the form of a deceased loved one or someone they deeply missed. However, due to the limited number of such cases and inconsistencies among witness testimonies, it remains impossible to determine whether these instances represent another genuine manifestation of Vynuis, a perceptual phenomenon induced by eir aura, or simply a hallucination arising from the subject's psychological state.

To date, there is no conclusive evidence suggesting that Vynuis deliberately alters eir appearance or intentionally assumes the form of individuals familiar to victims in order to approach them.
