Pierce congratulates them, revealing that the entire journey occurred just as planned, as it was a hidden test to see if the player could solve their problems by viewing things from every different perspective, which will help them grow as a person. The player is eventually able to navigate their way out of Whitespace, and Dr.

Eventually, the player creates a dream paradox and ends up in the realm of Whitespace where all sense of reality is lost. With the player now trapped, the dreamworld becomes increasingly surreal. The AI then advises the player to find their own way out. The AI concludes that SomnaSculpt therapy failed to eliminate the player's negative emotions hence they cannot leave the dreamworld. Meanwhile, the AI administering the dream therapy advises the player to initiate an 'Explosive Mental Overload' in order to trigger the 'Emergency Exit Protocol' and escape the dreamworld.Įventually, the player travels through enough dream layers to trigger the Emergency Exit Protocol, but it fails due to an unknown error. Glenn Pierce, communicates to the player through radios, explaining that they have completely lost track of the player, and that the player is likely traveling through successive dream layers. However, the player fails to wake up at their appointed time, ending up back inside the dreamworld. They are put to sleep and placed in a testing environment constructed in their dreamworld, where they are capable of performing reality bending feats such as changing the size of items based on perspective or instantly creating copies of them. The player heads to the Pierce Institute to help test its SomnaSculpt technology which is designed to provide dream therapy to patients. Some objects exist as trompe-l'œil illusions with segments of two-dimensional art on various walls and surfaces, and the player must find the appropriate angle to view the object and make it appear whole to then be able to grab it. Later areas of the game introduce new mechanics to this. This process can be repeated indefinitely, allowing the player to manipulate these scalable objects as to create platforms to reach the exit or clear obstacles blocking them. Taking the waist-high cube and looking downwards towards the floor when dropping it will make the cube shrink in size, while looking upwards towards the ceiling and dropping will make it grow large. The player can then look elsewhere around the room, with the cube maintained at the same viewpoint, and drop that cube at that location (at the furthest distance observed), where the cube will scale up or downwards in size based on the new perspective. The bulk of such interactions are based on the use of forced perspective: the player can pick up a waist-high cube, which is then kept at its apparent current size from the player's perspective. To reach the exit, the player can manipulate certain objects in the game world. The exit door may be closed and require a button to be held down to open, or atop a higher platform out of reach, or may not be immediately visible.
