Zenith is an ecstatic TV host who gathers contestants with traumatic or haunting memories, and has them face off in treacherous battles and quizzingly difficult questions in front of a live audience! The winner is given the opportunity to completely forget their traumatic memories, but the losers are doomed to repeat them for all eternity...

Zenith, while growing up, has always had a desire to be famous and well-renowned. Inspired by famous gameshow hosts on TV and the nervous excitement of being a contestant on one of them never ceased to pique his interest as he dreamed of being like one, maybe one day...

As he grew older, he felt this dream slipping away, and at his lowest point, he knew he would be nothing more than an average person. Suddenly, he heard a voice speaking to him from his old CRT television, the sound of static flooding his ears. It offered him all of the fame and wealth he could ever dream of, at the cost of human suffering and pain. He immediately accepted, the curse manifesting in the form of a strange purple eye, replacing his left eye and following him around.

The curse itself peers through others' traumatic and detrimental memories and feeds off of them. It has been known to cause intense headaches to affected victims, and is only visible to Zenith and the gameshow contestants. With time, it has gotten hungrier, pressuring Zenith to host more dangerous and cruel challenges to his gameshows. If Zenith does not provide the curse with enough, it will kill him and find a new host.
