404号房间 — Room 404（https://room404.gamestrategists.com）
这个子域上是浏览器里那一份《404号房间》：六幕故事、十道题、十八条线索、四个结局，外加十个可以一层层点进去的虚构站点。发布者是独立开发者 alphaBETA DEV（GameStrategists），一个人，不是公司。
另有两样东西不归本页管。一是主站 gamestrategists.com 上那些页面（厚页、攻略、更新日志），它自己有一份服务条款；两份说法不一致时，以您正在玩的这一个子域为准。二是微软商店里那份可以装成 Windows 应用、离线运行的版本：那份通过商店分发，安装、退款与内容评级走的是商店自己的流程，本站这份条款够不着它。两个版本偶尔进度不同步，以您手上正在玩的那一版为准。
本作没有任何收费环节：不要注册、没有内购、没有付费章节，也没有需要绑定的支付方式。既然没有钱进来，也就没有退款这回事——「这个结局值不值」这类争议在本站没有可处置的对象。
域名与托管是要花钱的，本站打算用页面上那条 Google AdSense 广告脚本带来的收入分摊它。广告位由第三方广告网络填，我们看到的是它们给出的结果，不决定具体投什么广告。广告如何选您、以及如何关掉个性化投放，写在 隐私政策 里，那一份才是管这件事的。
这是一款恐怖推理题材的作品。进入游戏前那一屏已经写明：包含恐怖、惊悚与心理压迫氛围，可能出现突然音效、画面闪烁与跳切；光敏性癫痫玩家或此刻不想承受这类气氛的人请勿游玩，感到不适随时关掉页面。那段提示与站内环境音的开关都在游戏里，不在这里。
本作不面向十三岁以下儿童。它不向任何年龄层的玩家索取姓名、证件或联系方式，因此也不存在「儿童账号」这种东西需要处理。
这几件常见的事在本站一件都没有发生，所以也就没有对应的规则：没有账号，因此没有封号、没有申诉、也没有谁来「终止您的服务」；没有表单、评论区、上传入口或供程序调用的接口，因此您提交给本站的任何文字都不存在——您写在游戏内记事本里那句话只留在您自己的浏览器里。唯一的处置手段是改页面或把某个地址撤下来。
本站能对某个人做点什么的空间很小，反过来说，您在本机的进度也只有您自己能动：清除浏览器里这个站点的数据，存档就没了，没有人能替您找回来。这一句在 隐私政策 里有逐条的键名与三种清法。
robots.txt 放行 User-agent: *，并且逐条点名允许搜索引擎与 AI 抓取（Google-Extended、GPTBot、ClaudeBot、PerplexityBot 等）。那是为了让人能找到这款游戏、让摘要能引用它，不等于许可把站内文本整库拉走另建一个站——那仍然属于上一条「再分发」，要先问。这是一个利用业余时间维护的个人项目：没有服务等级承诺，不保证随时打得开，也不保证谜题的结构永远不会变。修 bug、重排一幕、把某道题的接受值改准，都可能让已经过去的攻略对不上当下。
能承诺的是两件事：改动会留下记录，改错了会写明并更正。与《404号房间》有关的每一条改动都记在主站那条 更新日志 里，各自带着日期、按时间倒序排——这一页故意不抄它的条数，也不在这儿写排在最前的是哪几条：那个数每记一条日志就要变一次，把它钉在一张法务页上，第二天它就成了一句假话。本页正文每次真的改动，顶部那个「最后更新」的日期会跟着走——它取自这一页正文在版本记录里最后一次被改动的日子，不是手写的。
对因使用本站而产生的任何直接或间接损失，本站不承担责任；本站提供的内容用于娱乐与参考，不构成任何专业建议。游戏内出现的「政务平台」「日报」「论坛」「租房网」等都是虚构页面，它们的名字与版式模仿真实机构，为的是让玩家在那个界面里做出选择，不代表任何真实机构、真实人物或真实事件。
条款会变，改法只有这一种：更新本页，并在上方换掉那行日期。这张页上没有任何要您点的控件，浏览器里也不记录您读没读过它——但游戏入口那一屏确实有一个控件：那段须知末尾写着「我已阅读上述提示，自愿进入这段虚构体验。」的勾选框，不勾它，「进入游戏」那颗按钮就是禁用的；勾完再进，浏览器里会留下一个 arg-intro-room404，它只管那块告示还要不要再弹一次（键名与用途在隐私政策里逐条列着）。那个勾是「我知道这一段是虚构的」，不是对本站条款的电子签署：条款的效力不靠它，您一次没勾也照样读得到这几张说明页。所以「继续使用即表示接受更新后的条款」这句话只能按字面理解——您继续用，我们就当您接受；不接受，关掉这一页就行，游戏不会因此坏掉。
条款本身有疑问，写信到 contact@gamestrategists.com；涉及个人信息的走 privacy@gamestrategists.com，以隐私政策那一份为准。回复时限以 联系页 上那一句为准，这里不再抄一个数字免得两处打架。
Room 404 (https://room404.gamestrategists.com)
This subdomain holds one thing: the browser version of Room 404 — six acts, ten puzzles, eighteen clues, four endings, and ten fictional sites you can click through layer by layer. It is published by alphaBETA DEV (GameStrategists), one person, not a company.
Two neighbouring things are outside these terms. The pages on the main site, gamestrategists.com — the game profile, the walkthroughs, the changelog — carry their own terms; where the two disagree, this page wins for the site you are actually playing. And there is a Windows package on the Microsoft Store that runs offline: that copy is distributed through the store, so installing, refunds and content ratings follow the store’s own process. The two versions are not always in step, so treat the one in front of you as the one that is true.
Nothing here costs money: no sign-up, no purchases, no paid chapter, no payment method to connect. Because no money comes in, there is nothing to refund — a dispute of the kind “was that ending worth it” has nothing here for anyone to act on.
Domain and hosting do cost something, and the plan is to cover that with revenue from the Google AdSense script the pages load. Ad slots are filled by third-party ad networks; we see what they hand back and we do not choose which ad is served. How ads pick you, and how to switch personalised advertising off, is written in the privacy policy — that is the document in charge of it.
This is a horror-mystery game. The screen you pass through before the game itself already states it plainly: it carries horror, thriller and psychological pressure, and may include sudden sounds, screen flicker and jump cuts; people with photosensitive epilepsy, or anyone who does not want that atmosphere right now, should not play, and you can close the page at any moment. That notice and the ambience switch live in the game, not here.
The game is not aimed at children under thirteen. It never asks a player of any age for a name, an ID or contact details, so there is no “child account” for anyone to administer.
Several ordinary clauses have nothing to apply to: there is no account, so no one can be banned, there is nothing to appeal, and there is no “we may terminate your service” anyone could exercise; there are no forms, comments, uploads or an interface for other programs, so nothing you send is held anywhere — the line you type into the in-game notepad stays in your own browser. The only action available against anything is to edit a page or take an address down.
Our reach over you is small, and equally, only you can touch your own progress: clearing site data for this domain in your browser destroys the save and nobody can restore it. The privacy policy lists the exact storage keys and the three ways to erase them.
robots.txt allows User-agent: * and additionally names the search and AI crawlers it permits (Google-Extended, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and others). That is so people can find the game and summaries can quote it — it is not permission to pull the text out in bulk and rebuild a site elsewhere, which is still the case above and still needs a question first.This is a project maintained in spare time: there is no service-level promise, no guarantee it is always reachable, and no guarantee that a puzzle’s structure never changes. Fixing a bug, reordering an act or correcting what an answer field accepts can make an old walkthrough stop matching the live game.
Two things are promised instead: changes leave a record, and mistakes are corrected openly rather than quietly. Every change to Room 404 is filed in the main site’s changelog, each entry carrying its own date, newest first — this page deliberately does not copy that count here, and does not name whichever entries happen to sit at the top, because the number moves every time an entry is filed, and a figure pinned to a legal page is false the next morning. When the body of this page genuinely changes, the date above moves with it — it is read from the last recorded change to this page, not typed in by hand.
No liability is accepted for any direct or indirect loss arising from use of this site; content here is for entertainment and reference, not professional advice. The “government portal”, “daily newspaper”, “forum” and “rental listings” inside the game are invented pages. Their names and layouts imitate real institutions so that a player has to make choices in an interface that feels ordinary; they represent no real organisation, person or event.
The terms change in one way only: this page is updated and the date above is replaced. Nothing on this page asks you to click anything, and nothing in your browser records whether you have read it — but the screen in front of the game does have a control: the notice ends with a checkbox reading “I have read the notice above and consent to enter this fictional experience”, the “Enter the game” button stays disabled until it is ticked, and ticking it then entering leaves one key in your browser, arg-intro-room404, which only decides whether that notice appears again (the key is named in the privacy policy). That tick is an acknowledgement that the fiction is fiction; it is not an e-signature on these terms, and the terms do not depend on it. So “continued use means you accept the updated terms” has to be taken literally — keep using the site and we take that as acceptance; if you do not accept it, close the page. Nothing in the game breaks if you do.
Questions about the terms go to contact@gamestrategists.com; anything about personal data goes to privacy@gamestrategists.com and is governed by the privacy policy. The reply time is stated once, on the contact page, so this page does not repeat a second number for the same promise.
