HOW TO PLAY

OBJECTIVE

You are trapped inside a mansion of 30 rooms — each one a psychological state inside your own mind. Solve the puzzle in every room to unlock the exit door. Survive all 30 rooms and you are liberated.

MOVEMENT

W A S D or ↑ ↓ ← → to move in 8 directions.
TOUCH Use the virtual joystick in the bottom-left corner.

INTERACT

Walk near a glowing object until a prompt appears, then:
• Press E — or tap ACT on touch
Puzzle Device — opens a puzzle minigame
Notes — reveal clues for the puzzle
Exit Door — advance to the next room (only once the puzzle is solved)

SANITY

The red bar drains constantly while you're in a room. Solving a puzzle restores +20% sanity. Advancing to the next room restores +15%. If sanity hits zero, you are CONSUMED.

PUZZLES

Each room has a randomly chosen puzzle. Read the notes scattered in the room — they contain the clues you need. Every puzzle has a timer; if it expires, it's game over. There are 10 puzzle types:

ACCESS PANEL • CIRCUIT BOARD • INVENTORY SEARCH • MIRROR REDIRECT • SYMBOL SEQUENCE • BALANCE SCALES • INNER VOICE RIDDLE • COMBINATION SAFE • REPAIR SEQUENCE • MEDITATION CYCLE

MASTER CODE

Escaping each room reveals one character of a hidden 30-letter code, shown at the top of the screen. Collect all 30 characters to reveal the full truth of the mansion.

THE SECRET

There is something hidden deeper in the mansion. Keep your eyes open in THE THRESHOLD — room 15. Not everything that glows is a puzzle device.

TIPS

• Always read every note — clues are room-specific
• Puzzles scale in difficulty the deeper you go
• Press ESC at any time to return to the menu
• The mansion is procedurally generated — every run is different

CONSUMED

Your mind has devoured you.
The mansion will always be here.
Will you try again?

LIBERATED

You have escaped the mansion of your own mind.
The doors are behind you now.

THE LIMINAL SPACE

You have discovered the hidden truth.
The mansion was never a prison.
It was a mirror.

You are consciousness observing consciousness.
