How To Play: Narrative + GIFs version

*As you open your eyes, you find yourself face-to-face with a high-ranking military officer, dressed in his best uniform, sitting beside your bed.*

"Rise and shine! Now that you've fully recovered from the surgery, we can finally proceed to the fun part.

As you already know, the tech they've installed in your brain allows you to enter the fourth dimension, the realm of parallel reality, so to speak.

It's similar to our reality, with only minor differences. In fact, there's likely another version of both you and me having a similar conversation at this very moment.

You can see for yourself, actually. Go on, do a switch if you can." *smiles lightly*

*You close your eyes and focus. When you open them, everything appears almost the same, but your hospital pajamas have a different pattern. The officer's uniform is slightly different in color, and he has very little hair.*

***

"Well, how was it? How do I look over there? I'm not completely bald, right? Haha..."

*An awkward pause*

"What? I am bald, don't I? I mean, the other I, not me I... *sigh*

Anyway, our science team has set up a park for you to test this baby *knocks twice with his index finger on his hairy head* in action.

They were somehow sending messages to themselves so they could coordinate adjustments in both realities, and... um... it was quite confusing. They gave me this for you."

*You reach out, take a tablet, and start exploring its digital content.*

"Congratulations! You've been selected to test the DST-103446 brain implant in a remarkable place, the first-ever space purposefully built in two separate realities. How exciting, right?

You'll be presented with 8 levels. In each of them, your objective is to reach a designated spot in both realities [LMB click/hold on map to move]. This spot will be marked with two green footprints in a green circle.

Mind that DST-103446 allows you to do more than just switch between realities [press SPACE to switch].

It also grants you the ability to telepathically manipulate smaller objects [LMB click on object to pick] 

and move them between realities [RMB click on object to move it between realities].


You can gently release your telepathic grip on an object [RMB click elsewhere to release object] or release it with some kinetic energy [MMB click to throw object].

While holding an object in your grip, you can adjust its position to some extent [Scroll Wheel Up/Down to adjust position].


Our park is filled with buttons [LMB click on button to press]. Some of these buttons will spawn cubes that you need to use to disable force fields, other disable fields directly.


We have also installed Cube Switchers in some levels. These devices allow you to swap cubes of certain colors for another. Simply place cube on a pad with a color from/color to marker and press a button.

The process is reversible, but the order matters. For instance, if you swap a blue cube for a yellow one, you can only swap the yellow cube back to blue, and then blue back to yellow, and so on. 

You cannot directly transform two blue cubes into two yellow ones. However, with multiple cube switchers, you can chain these color changes.


You might be wondering, "Is our testing park safe?" 

The answer is, it's ALMOST safe! There is a possibility of encountering creatures we unfortunately don't know much about. We call them Residuals.

They are anthropomorphic and might appear familiar to you, but don't let them spot you. They are not friends.

So far, we are aware of two kinds of residuals. The first type is the slow ones. You can recognize them by their grey appearance. 

If they start chasing you, you can outrun with a little effort. Once you distance yourself sufficiently, they lose interest.


The other type of residuals are dark and significantly faster. Once they spot you, it's game over.


You can restart level, or select another one (once unlocked) anytime you want [press TAB to open in-game menu].


Good Luck!"
