God

God is the creator of all reality and a minor character in Chapter 6. He appears in Heaven after Victor Neff leaves the dream version of his apartment through the refrigerator. When Victor finds him he explains that he is not the original God and wants Victor to take his place listening to prayers. He shows Victor the telephone that allows him to listen to them, though he explains it is not a real telephone, merely a metaphor of his new ability to hear the prayers directly. He also gives Victor the Key to Heaven, allowing him to open any lock in the Dreamscape. In the Center of the Dreamscape there lives one of the Other Victors, an elderly form who began to work as God and answer prayers on his own phone. The other Victors believe him to be crazy as, like the playable Victor, they left Heaven and moved on. Some even suspect God to have been the Dream Machine in disguise, though God's true origins are never truly explained.
