Esoteric
The text describes a secret game called EsOTerIci, which is played by playing cards with different suits and numbers according to an unknown rulebook that the reader (player) has access to for safety purposes. Once started or when certain conditions are met such as being old enough in age, rules regarding who can be present during gameplay must also apply because of their potential effects on those players' memories if they were ever involved with EsOTerIci's events. The rulebook is not written down but rather a series of instructions that the reader should follow while playing to ensure secrecy and safety are maintained throughout playtime, even for as long as desired.
