The game loads to this menu screen. The preferences option allows the player to toggle between full screen and windowed modes. After this come company logos

Throughout the game there are load screens like this with meaningful quotes from great and worthy deep thinkers

The very first game screen. Interaction with everything in the game is with the 'E' key. Here it's used to close a dialogue box

The WASD keys are used to move around and 'E' interacts with an object but the mouse can be used to scan the neighbourhood

This is the Free Edition so some areas are not accessible

Through the first door and into the tutorial and a new action key is explained

Interacting with an object, in this case a statue of one of the game's three characters. Are these thoughts, memories, first impressions?

Another action key has been introduced, it's the standard SPACE for jumping

Nearing the end of the tutorial. There's a locked door puzzle to solve to get into the library

In the library are three full size pictures, each describing a kind of character. The player must select one that best matches their personality - then its back to the hall of doors

Through the first experience door and figures of the three characters appear in the distance

Interacting with the old man. This triggers the load screen and transports the player into a scene from his past

This scene is the first I encountered in the old man's storyline. Look around and you may see office furniture suspended in the air. Why? What does it all mean?

The old man's storyline - interacting with a wishing well

The old man's storyline. He enters a windmill, no locked door puzzle here, expecting to meet someone. In the distance there's a lovey red statue

The old man's storyline. As he approaches the lovely red statue he saw through the doorway other scenes from his life come into view - then the statue breaks

Each time the old man visits the room hes looking for a different memory. The text implies there's a lot more to his story than has been uncovered so far
