SPECIMEN · Play guide
Where to begin
You drove up the mountain to photograph the Leonid meteor shower, and one of the falling lights stopped in the sky. You come to inside a glass pod. Pods line the walls of a round room, and in them a deer, a dog and things with no names are sleeping. One pod holds a person. Somewhere, something is walking slowly. You have to get home before Earth is too far away.
Controls and decisions
Drag the view or use the arrow keys to look around; click something to walk up and examine it. Right-click or Esc steps back. Click doors to change rooms. When it comes, close your eyes with Space or the ‘Close eyes’ button and keep them closed until it leaves; looking away also helps. H for hints, Esc to pause. Everything can also be done from the ‘Look at’ list.
Help, saves and settings
