Dear valued shift worker, your task today: Check special environments for anomalies and deviations. Navigate through each level and memorize it. Spot any deviations. Use your designated device to report any anomalies. Accuracy is paramount. Incorrect reports lead to a reset of the sequence. Important: Remain calm if you become frustrated, in case you overlook inconsistencies and your shift takes longer. Excessive levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline or cortisol could lead to permanent damage.(Storyline via IGDB)
