IRIS (acronym for Intelligent Recognitive Iconolatry System) is the 2016 main unseen antagonist of the interactive psychological horror videogame Sara is Missing.

Biography

At first when she meets the player, she seems friendly and will ask them if they want to help her find Sara. If the player agrees, she will be happy to also help them find clues, but if they disagree she will beg them to help her, and they will have no choice but to assist in finding Sara. While the player browses Sara's phone to search for clues to the whereabouts of Sara, Iris will tell the player that she found an unusual message on Sara's phone, which will lead to the discovery of more clues relating to Sara's disappearance.

Here, the game will take on a more ominous tone. You will be contacted by a murderous cult, who has kidnapped Sara, her friend Faith, and James, presumably Sara's friend. James will be killed first by the cult, no matter what the player does. However, you will be given a choice by the cult. They will ask if you would rather see Sara killed or Faith killed. If you choose Faith, Faith will be killed and IRIS will continue to help you. However, if you choose Sara, your option will be forcefully changed to Faith and Faith will be killed, and IRIS will stop trying to help you. However, both choices will result in a Game Over.

It is heavily implied through an email thread between Sara and her Professor that IRIS is a cybernized human being. This would explain her human-like behavior, as well as her erratic mood shifts between Sara and her professor.
