Du kommst zu spät zum Test. Eine drängende Stimme lots dich in den Aufzug und durch einen Flur zur Tischmitte inmitten schweigender Teilnehmer. Strenge Regeln diktieren dein Handeln: Bleib stehen, falls der Lift vorzeitig anhält, rede oder fotografiere nicht, notiere keine Erinnerungen und schau nie direkt in den Slide-Projektor.
Dieses Indie-Adventure für PC entfaltet sich durch geführte Anweisungen und zunehmend einschränkende Vorgaben im Testverlauf. Intensive Blinklichter erscheinen in Schlüsselsektionen, mit Warnung vor photosensitiven Reaktionen - Spiel abbrechen und medizinische Hilfe aufsuchen, wenn Symptome auftreten. Es lockt Spieler, die auf experimentelle Spannung und visuelle Risiken aus sind.
You're late. We were about to start without you.
Through that elevator on your left, please. And then down the hallway - don't lollygag, we're behind enough as it is.
If the elevator stops, under no circumstances should you exit before reaching the correct floor. Repeat that to me please so I know you understood it.
Ok, thank you.
When you get there, take a seat at the center table. The test will begin shortly. Do not speak to the other participants. Do not take any photographs. Do not write down your memories of it. And do not look directly into the slide projector.
What? No, it's a slide projector - it won't do any damage. But you won't be able to see. And we need you to see.

WARNING:
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while playing.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any symptoms.
Silkbulb Test has certain sections with intense flashing lights - play at your own risk.
