Sei in ritardo per il test. Una voce urgente ti accompagna in ascensore e lungo un corridoio fino al tavolo centrale, tra partecipanti immersi nel silenzio. Regole ferree dettano ogni mossa: resta dentro se l'ascensore si ferma prima del previsto, evita di parlare o scattare foto, non annotare ricordi e non fissare mai direttamente il proiettore delle diapositive.
Questa indie adventure per PC si snoda tra istruzioni guida e restrizioni sempre più opprimenti durante il test. Luci stroboscopiche intense lampeggiano in sezioni chiave, con avviso per possibili reazioni fotosensibili: interrompi il gioco e consulta un medico se compaiono sintomi. Attira giocatori disposti a immergersi in una tensione sperimentale e rischi visivi.
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.
