How To Play

In order to help the people escape, you will be interacting with various devices in each level. Each device will do something different, and you will have the ability to turn some of these devices on/off, and change the amount of power that is supplied to each device. To interact with a device, you just need to click on that device in the game. Devices that can be interacted with will emit a pink glow.

Speakers

Speakers in the game allow you to communicate with the trapped people in each level. As you provide more power to each speaker, the louder the range of the speaker, which means you will be able to communicate with characters that are further away.

Control Panels

Control panels allow you to modify the power that is supplied to various devices in each level. As you click on each control power, you will either add or remove power to each device. Some devices can just be toggled on and off, while others will have varying levels of power.

Goal

In each level, your goal is to help the npc escape the level. This will involve helping unlocking a door for them to escape through, or powering devices in each level to help them safely navigate to the exit.
