## Walkthrough

### **Finding the Village**

* The stinking marshland borders on an elevated plateau. On the higher ground you find what you suspected all along: The village of the natives.
* *(If you had previously established friendly relations with the natives before, you can enter without the fear of being attacked.)*

### **A Night in the Marsh**

* You are forced to camp in the middle of the marsh. It is an eerie area to spend the night in, but nightfall was too quick and prevented your return to base. [Camp]
* You are left with little options, so you prepare to make a camp for the night. Soon you have a nice fire going, you eat some food all while looking at the night sky.
* The night sounds fill the dark space around your camp. Insects and frogs start their nightly concert. Fireflies come out of the woodwork and dot the darkness with fluorescent light.
* The night is actually quite romantic, you are somewhat glad that you were forced to camp here.
* Fatigue soon overcomes you and you crawl into your bedrolls to go to sleep. You feed the fire once more, so it will protect you from the predators of the night.
* The crackling of the wood makes you fall asleep instantly. [Zzz]
* There is something not right. You take a look around. The fire has died down, only a prickling pile of embers remains.
* You listen into the night. There is nothing suspicious. But then you notice it.
* The sounds of the marshes have died down. It is perfectly quiet, as if all the animals are too afraid to give off a sound.
* You try to stand up, but you can't. You are paralyzed! You start to panic! You can move your head around, but the rest of your body is useless.
* Then a blast of light tears through the dark skies. A terrible searchlight beam envelopes your little camp. The brightness is too much to bear, and you pass out.

### **An** **UFO?!**

* You think you can move again. You rise. Where are you? What happened?
* You are in a cold gray room the like you have never seen before.
* You look around, the room is a perfect circle. There is no furniture anywhere, just featureless metal surfaces. The wall has two big round panels that could be doors.

(***To get Gems at the end of this level, follow this sequence: Left door (1) -> Bubbles -> Enter (You are now protected) -> Left door (2) -> Enter -> Go left -> Enter -> (You should be at the "Panel") -> Pillar Glyph -> Door Glyph.)***

		2. [Right door (2)]
			- (*With Bubbles)*: You float towards the right door. It fades out. You see another round room. In the center of this one is a huge pillar with pulsating green light. Even though the metal door and with the bubble membrane you feel the heat inside the room.You float through the door into the pulsating light. The sound inside the room is unbearable then there was intense pain. The light emitted from the pillar melts your skin and soon you pass out. You end up at gray the room again.

		3. [Bubbles]
			- You touch one of the bubbles. It is like a membrane, your hand goes right through it. You could climb in if you wanted. Entering the bubble envelopes you, and you seem to float weightless inside the protective membrane.

#### **Panel Room... with Gems**

* The panel is a collection of strange glyphs with blinking lights associated with them.
* You think you recognize two glyphs, one looks like the round doors, the other one looks like a pillar. What do you interact with?

1. [Door glyph]: ***(Don't choose this first)*** If you were to open the door glyph first, After a while a strange pulsating light enters through one of the opened door. The sound inside the room is unbearable then there was intense pain. The light emitted from the pillar melts your skin and soon you pass out. You end up at gray the room again.
2. **[Pillar glyph]**:Touch the [pillar glyph] (which seems to do nothing) first, then touch the [door glyph] to open all doors.

* You float through the doors and through the rooms until you reach the pillar room.

* Inspect the pillar. You get **100** **.**
