You step into the room. It's hard to go any further, because every inch is covered with neatly organized heaps of papers and objects. Narrow paths lead between them, seemingly endlessly, you can't see the other end of the room. You see some microscopes (or telescopes?) laying around, gramophones and projectors, typewriters and casette tapes are balanced ot the top of the papers, little piles of needles, tweezers and hooks are stuffed into the corners. Dozens of yarn balls are tangled into each other, part of them are connected to conspiracy boards, the other half is halfway worked into unrecognizable figures and textures.
The remaining place is overgrown with ivy, or clematis in the sunnier parts. You stare up at the pleasant, obviously fake sun for a moment, but you decide not to think too hard about it. You have seen weirder things. Small movements catch your eye. As you look closer, you see tiny spiders and insects running on the collection and the walls. They seem to avoid you, they mind their own business. Some of them carry papers, but you can't decide if they maintain or destroy the organization of the place.
You walk on the single path in front of you. It leads to an old, pedal operated sewing machine table, but instead of a sewing machine it's connected to a bulky computer with a CRT monitor. The rest of the table is lost under books and papers, and the overgrown plants. On the top of everything a typewritten note greets you.
Welcome to my Zampanio archive!
I try to keep here a copy of the things I find. Some may say that it's futile, since everything related to Zampanio is deemed to vanish, and I don't think that my collection will avoid this fate. But it will last for some time, and if it helps others, I will say it worth it. I mostly do this for my own pleasure, it's my room after all, but I gladly show around anyone who is interested.
If you are reading this, I'm probably not here, so be careful. It's easy to get lost, and obsession is a dangerous thing. Take breaks and remember to hydrate.
You can use the catalog to navigate fast, or you can explore in your own pace. This place has hundreds of exits, and I try to mark where I found each exhibit, so if you are interested in the context, you can find that. All the secrets I uncovered are explained, so if you would like to solve them yourself, you might find here things you don't want to. Since there is very little known about the original Zampanio, most of the things here are fan content. A determining part of them originated from a person named justifiedRecursion (jr for short). The rest is from various authors, I try to credit them accordingly.
