* FeaturelessProtagonist: The player character is not usually seen and is generally addressed only as "[[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep detective]]" (except by Dupin, who more often addresses you as "my friend"). They have no DialogueTree until ''The Raven'', which is the tenth installment, making it difficult to ascribe any sort of personality to the character. Also, the gender of the character is an incredibly controversial matter, as it's presented inconsistently throughout the series; see AmbiguousGender, above.

Dupin usually addresses you as "my friend"). They have no DialogueTree until friend" while other characters call you "detective." Overall, very little is revealed about the player character aside from inconsistent hints regarding their AmbiguousGender.

A newspaper article in the bonus chapter of ''Morella'' features her photograph ([[https://ibb.co/vJdp293 see it here]]) alongside an article about the events of ''The Raven'', which confirming that Anna is the tenth installment, making it difficult to ascribe any sort player character of personality to the character.

The player has the choice of explaining that he died or simply saying that they were attacked and he's lucky to be alive. It's implied that the amnesia is temporary, however, as he later says he remembers what happened and thanks the player for saving him.
