I walk down the hallway and look at the halls on either side of me. The one to my left is the one I already went down. To my right is the dead end, where the arrow was. That can't be right though, it's a dead end, not another pathway. Then I remember the hole in the floor and gap I can walk across. This wall may just be a trick, it not even really be there. I walk down the hall and stop in front of the wall. By the looks of it, it's as solid as a rock. I lift my hand up and reach forwards ready to press my hand against it. The one thing I didn't expect was that my hand would go through the wall. I pull my hand back the wall goes back to normal, as if nothing had happened. I slowly walk towards the wall. As I walk into it, it disappears around me. I keep walking until the wall isn't there any more.

On the other side is a hallway, at the end of it I can see a room. I walk down it until I'm in the doorway. To my left on the wall is another picture, there's a giant brick wall that has a hole in the middle. In the middle of the hole is a man with a sledge hammer. It appears that he has broken through the wall. I press the image, 'A dead end will only stop you if you don't try to move through it' I should keep that in mind.

I turn back a look at the room, everything is a shade of green. Well, everything excluding the giant black pit in the middle of the room and the floating letters. The letters are a nice gold color and spell the word 'FLY' in midair. On the other side of the gap is a door with a laser in front of it. I can't see what is behind it, it's too far away.

I peek over the edge and see it's a black pit with a small white square in the middle. I look back at the words and try to figure out what they mean. I look back at the gap and walk until my toes are over the edge. I jump, the wall rushing past me and the white coming closer to me. When I land, I feel no pain, just solid ground. I look back up and now see a small green square with a little golden line in the middle.

Looking back down, I see that there are things all around me. Behind me the wall fades into blue and theres a door blocking the hallway. This isn't the door I usually see, it's white and there is a giant X connecting to all of the corners. To the right of the door is a glass cube that is missing it's front face, nothing else. I looks like you could place a block of some sorts. To my left is a hall that is block with green blocks, and to my right is a door with a laser in front of it. In front of me is a picture. There's some guy on an island with a single palm tree that he is standing next to. Right across from him is another island, this one is bigger and has a house on it. In between the two of them is ocean with sharks swimming around there. I touch it and read, 'We fall down when there is nothing there to support us'.

I can't decide whether or not I want to go through the door at my right. I decide to go back to the main hub and go from there. Once I'm in there, I'm looking at the map. It''s grown again, and I know where every square leads to. All except one of them. Noticing that I don't know where it leads to, I press the one above the unknown square. At the top is says 'Leap of faith' and shows the room with the words 'WALK' in the middle.

I close that screen and open up the square below the unknown square. When it comes up, it says 'Into darkness' at the top. It shows a white room with the picture of the sheep jumping off of the cliff.

Finally I press the mystery square in the middle of those two. A the top is reads 'A jump too far' and also shows a room. There's stairs that lead down to a pit in the middle, on the other side there are another set of stairs that lead to a hall and a room. The wall around the gap are bright red with orange as it fades into both halls. I decide to go there and see what exactly this is.

I press the button and the world around me goes black for a split second and then I'm where the picture was showing me. I walk down the stairs in front of me and look over the edge. Looking down I see a small white square at the bottom. I look up and see the words 'WALK' above me. I turn my attention back to the room that's across from me. After looking at it for a while, I decide that I can probably make it if I jump.

I walk backwards and then run. I jump off of the edge, but I don't make it. The gap seems to be bigger than it looks then I seemed to think. The walls fade into black, one I land I look around. I'm where I was when I first jumped in the beginning. Maybe this is the same puzzle, I can't jump across, I have to walk across.

I press the screen on my watch and is teleported back to the hub. I immediately walk up the map and press the square and go back to the room that''s called 'A jump too far' once I'm there I walk down the stairs. Once I'm on the edge, I carefully lift my foot and place it over the edge. Just like the last one, blocks form under my feet preventing me from falling. I lift up my other foot and place it next to the other one. Blocks form under that foot to, but the pad is only big enough to ensure that I don't fall off. It's not as big as the first one.

I walk around making sure that the blocks follow me. Once I'm sure that I'm not going to fall, I start to walk across. When I'm half way across the gap, a small wall of blocks forms in front of me. I walk to the left and the wall moves along, still blocking my way. I move to the left and the same happens. I continue to move to the left and the wall continues to follow me. It does that until my shoulder is pressed against the wall. A gap appears between the wall of blocks and the wall of the gap.

I walk through the gap, making sure that my shoulder is always pressed against the wall. Once I'm past the wall, I walk in front of it. I turn around and look at the wall again. It still follows me on this side to. I turn back around and walk up the stairs.

At the end of the hall there's a room. In the middle of it is a giant black cube with white borders. Inside the cube there seems to be a white pendulum swinging back and forth. I can see other cubes to the left and the right of it and also some behind it. There also seems to be two more halls right before the room. I walk slightly down the hall and see a picture to my left after a couple steps.

Theres a bunny that is curled up and tilted to the right. I touch the cold flat surface and read the words, 'How we perceive a problem can change every time we see it' I guess that can help me to in the long run. I continue to walk down until the two halls are right beside me.

I look at the pendulum closer and see that each time it swings theres a letter once it passes the middle. I take another step towards it and look at the letter, 'I...F...E...L...' and that continues. After looking at it for a while, I realize that is spells life.

I take a step back and look at the halls at my sides. When I look to my left, a door drops, I look away and back again, same thing again. I look to my right and see a design on the wall. I walk down and stop in front of it. After getting a better look at it, it looks like a compass with an eye in the middle. It take up most of the wall and there is nothing else in the hall. I stare at it a little longer and then flinch back from it.

The eyes starts to close slowly, then opens again. This process repeats, slowly getting faster, until it's blinking as fast a normal person would. Suddenly, it blinks and it doesn't reopen. The four corners of the wall start to disappear, slowly going in towards the eye. Just when the wall around the eye disappears, the eye opens and looks at me, and then it's gone. On the other side of the wall there's a hallway.

I walk down the hall and see a black square to my left, I turn to look at it. There's a guy holding a magnifying glass up to a piece of paper in front of him. I press it, like always, it disappears, 'The solution to a problem may just require a more thorough look at it' I guess that is referring to the eye. I turn and look back down the hall in front of me.
