In the page Main.html, players encounter either Ookamuro or three Cursed Dolls, accompanied by an eerie ambiance consisting of growling and moaning sounds. The player is presented with five clickable buttons (or four mirrors) on the first page, which serve as means of progressing through the game. These buttons can lead the player either to dead-end paths or provide them with codes necessary for solving puzzles on subsequent pages. The buttons redirect to different pages within the game, including [[Lomando.com#Elizabeth.html|Elizabeth.html]], [[Lomando.com#Chaos.html|Chaos.html]], [[Lomando.com#Heven.html|Heven.html]], and [[Lomando.com#Eden.html|Eden.html]].

Notably, the fifth button in the Ookamuro variant of the page does not lead the player to any location or outcome. Instead, it triggers the appearance of a ghost woman named Yukie on the player's screen, accompanied by a groan. Importantly, this encounter does not harm the player or return them to the front page; rather, it removes the fifth button from the interface.

The first version (July 11th, 2013-January 2015) only used Konnichiwa as a screamer, along with a different sound effect. The second version (January 2015-August 14, 2015) was the same as the current version, except it used Kuwagata Oji-san (a two-headed man with stag beetle mandibles protruding out of his bleeding eye sockets) instead of Eris. The screamer involved him rising from the bottom of the page with the same roar and laugh as Pieyama Pie-Man Mk-2, and moving his heads from side to side on a red background.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=3KD69UAZ6d4&t=801s</ref>
