About

Hello, Subject

Features
Read full description

You are the the Subject. Others came through here before you. The Facility runs a psychokinetic assessment programme: hundreds of chambers, one exit each. You can move objects without touching them. That is all you have. Drag a cube through the air. Stack two. Throw one hard enough to break glass. Put a mirror in a laser and the beam turns ninety degrees. Rest a weight on a plate and a blast door opens somewhere you cannot see. Hold a sentinel off the ground and it cannot aim at you. Between chambers a voice tells you how the room works, then starts telling you other things. It belonged to the subject before you, who passed every chamber and was then asked to talk. It has read what the Director wrote about you. It knows what is under the floor of the Facility, because it grew up down there. Every chamber is a new idea and then it is over. Learn the thing, use it, move on. FEATURES - Hundreds of chambers, each one built by hand - Touch controls: stick on the left, tap right to jump, drag to lift - Cubes, mirrors, sentinels, lasers, moving platforms, acid, fragile floors, pressure plates - A line from the Voice in every chamber, and a Director who is no longer answering - English, Italian, Spanish The session is authorised.
