mostly show!canon with a bit of novel!canon mixed in, the ones i can get my hands on

that is to say, GDW (who was terminally ill) created the game FOR LQS... to keep her company when she's alone, to 'apologize' for making her feel alone again. GDW somehow programmed the game in such a way that only LQS can have access to the (AI) master control program, which is also the final boss/level/Door, who later manifested as RNZ.
ppl eventually who got their hands on the game and wanted to profit off of it but couldn't access it and, during their tampering, corrupted the game, which is the (AI) master control program, which is also the final boss/level/Door, which is RNZ.
RNZ ofc still wants to purify the game but it’s not her original purpose… her original purpose is basically LQS because she’s literally the game created to keep LQS company. And she ‘waited’ for LQS to show up not just to purify the game but bcs she was literally made to wait for her at the end of the game as the 12th Door.
she's the end of LQS's journey, in the form of the 12th Door, who somehow manifested as RNZ.
