Name yourself Gus.

Feel around for some buttons. Failing that start punching. We'll confirm our existance with brute force if we have to!

Feel around, since we...I mean I... can't see anything.
Maybe find a candle?

Weird but okay voices, whatever you say.

>>19936
>>19937
I try feeling around but its difficult, I can't understand what part of my body is supposed to do what.
And I have no idea what a candle is.

My senses are adjusting little by little, I can kind of make out what my shape is it kind of looks like this.

>>19944
we look like a room?

>>19944

see if you can influence the thing on the left.

Questip: save as lossless PNG or GIF, using JPG will make the the images appear poor-quality and much larger than they would otherwise be.

I try to make the thing I'm up against try and move. It jiggles slightly, but nothing else happens...

I start to hear voices from somewhere, I can barely hear it, but I can make out a couple sentences.

"Did you see that! It worked professor!"
"Yes but what is it doing? Does it want to get out?"
"What does it matter? The life bringer works! We have revolutionized the science community to levels unseen!"
"Yes... but-"

I can't make out anything beyond that.

Start knocking against the wall near where we hear the sound.

I lightly push against the place I heard the sound coming from. I didn't notice it before but the area feels different from the rest of the space around me. It also makes a weird noise.

>>19972
Keep doing that. Get a rythm going. See if we can't communicate with the strange voices somehow.

I start pressing on that patch of weird material and start to get a catchy rhythm going. I do this for a while but whatever was up there seems to be gone.

Push up against a wall. Maybe we can get out if we push hard enough.

I push up against that weird spot with everything I got, but its not enough. Whatever put that spot there did not want it moving. I was able to make out where the edges where in the material.

Precision +1

Whats that round thing on the shape on the wall to the side? With our improved precision can we attempt to manipulate it?

>>19997
BUST THE FUCK OUT
Also maybe 20K get.

>>20000
Oh hey, 20k get. Awesome. Now we have to do this.

Well damn my luck, its another little fucking room. It is a little different though, I can feel something on one of the upper objects in this second room but it is too worn for me to make out.

*Cutscene end*

push around on the walls again. Maybe one of them here will move.

I try both of the objects like I did earlier, but they won't budge, they stop before I can turn them all the way like it did last time.

see if you can feel out what's on the northern portal.

Have a listen, see if we can hear anyone.

>>20034
I feel the smudgy area on the northern object, I still can't make out what it is, but I was able to figure out how many there are.

>>20035
I'm listening as best I can, but I still can't hear anything.

Hmm. Can we wipe away the smudge on the north door?

I rub up against it, but all that does is make me feel a little weird. I don't think I want to do that again.

>>20049
I strain my body to try and increase my FOCUS somehow. To say the least, I expected less.

Examine that corner..growth.

>>20058
Run full speed ahead into the door, see if we can break it down going at full force.

Try clearing your eyes.

I can't run when my body encompasses the entire room, but I'll try and push the door with everything I got... no luck.

Oh. Hi there. Try opening the door now. Maybe pulling it?

Well, can't say there is all that much... oh look! This thing looks useful.

How much of that stuff you think can you hold at once?

Brilliant! I bet if we hit the other door with this long stick thing, it'll open!

>>20090
I can hold all of it with little effort, but I am gonna need a lot more strength before I can start carrying a bunch of heavy stuff. For now I think I'm going to leave that other thing where it is, I don't think I'm going to need it yet.

lets try and figure out what the other thing is first.

Stupid object thing!

Maybe dig it into that little hole and wiggle it around, maybe we can pry the door open that way.

It looks like there's a switch on the item, try flipping it.

>>20123
While that sounds like a good idea, I don't think I can do that... yet.

>>20138
I don't think its a button... nope just a hole. I wonder if this loop is supposed to go through it. Well even if it is, its attached to it with some sort of weird thing that doesn't seem to want to come off... Anyway, yeah it's just a hole.

Lets see if we can apply any force to the inside of the hole without using the strange object.

>>20158
I try to fit into the weird hole in the object, but its to cramped and small, the effort gives me some practice in the skill, but all in all its hopeless.

I can feel another part of me on the other side of this object through the hole though. I can feel it, but it also feels detached like its another object entirely... and its in pain. What is on the other side of this hole?

While I can see myself through the hole, I can't interact with it properly. I can't see what is causing the pain or do anything. It feels detached almost like a piece of me fell off.

Hmm... Whats that little round thing in the closet? Lets see if we can push or pull or twist or yank or swing it out.

>>20201
Pick up STICK PIECES and go back to the first room.
That hole feels dangerous.

>>20211
Unscrew the round part and smash it!

Its a little late for that.

I wish you had told me that earlier!

>>20236
No, actually I meant the thing next to it. The one that lit up. Good job though. Lets see if theres another way out of here. Use our improve vision to investigate the room in more detail.

>>20244
Did it do any damage? I mean, pain SUCKS, but could you reach back to turn it off again?

>>20245
WHAT?! Oh you have got to be kidding me?! You couldn't have been a little more specific?! You made me go through all that because you couldn't ass a little more detail to your suggestion?! But now that you mention it, there does seem to be something oddly suspicious about that patch on the ceiling... Consider us even... for now.

>>20248
I feel the same detached feeling I did from that other room in that old room now. And it feels like it's in even more pain then the piece in the other room. I can't feel it directly, but it still hurts something deeper. At least I know what is causing that pain now.
