It looks unused, filthy. There is a keypad, lights, a dispenser for something round and a residue-y rectangle where an instructions pad used to be.

It is completely unresponsive with no power.

You experimentally press the middle left on the second row down; the button slips back and is swapped out with a black one, as well as all the surrounding buttons with a satisfying 'click'.

>>775110
Ah, cute. Okay, let's turn all the buttons black. This puzzle is fairly simple, actually...

Push the button you just pushed again to turn those back to white. Then push the one in the top row, second from the left. Then push second row, all the way on the right. Third row, all the way on the left. Bottom row, second from the right.

You progress through the unopened door and enter a hallway.
There is an entrance to another office, a steel bulkhead without the power to open, a long corridor that stretches into darkness and a crack in the air like a shattered window.

Also in the room is a door with an electronic lock, and a sturdy looking grate on the floor.

>>775136
I bet we could reach in there to flip the circuit breaker to restore power... but maybe we should explore a bit further first. Who knows, maybe it's a bad idea to turn the power back on?

Go into the office.

You enter the side office.
There are further traces of an effort to brick up the windows as quickly as possible; the cement has hardened with time but the hastiness of it's construction is apparent from the stalactites beneath the seams formed while it was liquid.
There is a pile of rubble and earth in the corner, the wall has collapsed inwards.
You internally lurch with claustrophobia as you realise you may infact be very far underground, in an unstable building not designed to sustain the tonnes upon tonnes of earth above your head.

While searching the room you find more ruined paper in the desk, a variety of rocks and a mirror on the floor.

Whatever situation you're in, you are very glad to know you recognise your own face.

"...that's... me?"

You take a seat, then rest the mirror on your lap while you ponder what this means.
You clearly have control over your own body, you do what you want to, but isn't what you'd want your body to do what your body wants anyway?
You feel like you keep making decisions before you're aware you've made them, as if you're no longer the only party with a say in what you're doing.

You glance down and notice yourself looking at your reflection, did you choose to do that?
Infact you're almost certain you didn't, you rested the mirror on your leg... it takes you the time it takes to ponder all of this to realise your right hand is holding up the mirror to your face.

>Wait, are you holding the mirror?

"yeah."

>Did... did I tell you to?

"no."

>What... what else can you do?

"whatever"

You somehow feel glad, at least the consciousness you're paired with is benevolent, even if they don't seem to take an interest.

You suddenly get a flash of memory, some lecture or documentary from a previous life, isn't this already a thing? Research on people with separated brain hemispheres, something about sides disagreeing with eachother... but only one could talk?

>Hold on, I'm gonna test something.

"ok"

With your left hand, you cover your right eye. After a pause, your right hand clutches your face.

"i can't see"

>It's ok, don't worry.

You move your hand over to your other eye to find your vision is blacked out.

>Well, I think we're the same person. We've had brain surgery.

"Check your head."

With your right hand you carefully reach up and feel your scalp, and sure enough you feel a long, ugly scab running the length of your skull.

Normally, only one side of the brain possesses the capability to process language. You sir are an anomaly. Perhaps you had a significant brain injury as a child, resulting in your brain programming itself in a nonstandard way.

It is unlikely that this was your first brain surgery.
Hopefully it will be your last.

Go squeeze through that crack. Coordinate with your other side for saftey. Bring the little piece of paper and key. If the breaker doesnt turn on the lights, its little light should be enough to read the thing.

Some tricky thing with the corpus callosum, probably. You've got two minds in your head. Does the crack in the air look the same from both sides? Can you reach through it using the IV stand from the surgical theater?

>>775743
That's not exactly true. Both sides of the brain can do everything necessary to function as a human being. It's just that each side is specialized for certain tasks.

>>775739
Alright, I suppose we should check in that dark tunnel a little bit before risking the tear in reality. Optimally you'd get like a pole or stick or something to make it easier to reach in.

Also try tossing a rock at the edge of the tear, see if it is as dangerous as it looks. It might just repel things that get close to the edges.

...it seems fine.

The other side of the crack looks like the other side in the other room, eg. from this side you can see cables but if you go around and look down, you can see the grate in the other corner of the room.

If you press the drip bar against the tear it seems to hold, the sharpness is impressive but you'd need to apply some force to actually cut. ...Of course, falling over is exactly the sort of force you'd need.
Having said that, you should be fine with a mixture of the pole and some decent coordination.

You're leaning towards going straight through, but you examine the dark hallway further before you go in.

You get about 3 feet in before realising that it's really, really, astonishingly dark. Undeterred, you continue going forward, keeping the light in full view. The hallway seems to pitch up, as if it were a ramp.
You get about 3 meters in before the gradient seems to start increasing geometrically... or rather the direction of gravity does.
Even though the hall is visibly straight, all the way back to the light, you find yourself needing to crawl just to make progress.
Just as the wall seems almost vertical, you hear running water from way ahead...

This is far too spooky for you and you lose grip immediately, slipping back into the hall you started in.

Finally, you are ready to climb through the tear. You check everything is ok with yourself, then climb through with the help of the pole.

On the other side is an almighty, industrial looking circuit breaker. You find yourself squinting blankly at the instructions when

"stop, i can read them"

It seems your other half can read more adeptly than you can. While you wait, you notice that the room here is much less humid. The paper you took from the doctor's desk is still ruined with damp, but you get the feeling you could dry it out if you had time and somewhere hot.

Between the both of you, you determine that the control is currently in standby; awaiting some kind of mechanical input.

You pause for a second, fiddling with the controls you see, when you realise there's a whole 'nother board under a panel.
With some sweet cooperation, you uncover some kind of circuit. There are spools of wire underneath, and a grid of pegs with marked transistors between.

Regarding the wiring, the instructions for repair state:
- Wire on pegs must create a single continuous loop
- Type of transistor indicates how many of the four surrounding sections contain a wire
- WARNING: Wire loop must not cross itself, for safety reasons any given peg can only have a maximum of two lines passing through it.

>>775829
What's with the transistor on the bottom right? Does that mean it has zero wires on its pegs?

Also is the wire allowed to cross diagonally? Does "surrounding sections" refer to the borders of the tile the transistor is in, or does it refer to the adjacent tiles? What determines if a wire is "contained" in a tile, in that case?

You let out an instinctive yell as the light suddenly hits your eyes, it almost takes a full 10 seconds for you to make anything out through your near-black adjusted retinas.
Like a polaroid photo your surroundings develop into something you can process and you continue.

Behind the gentle humming of electricity and the far off rumbling whir, you think you catch a far away voice yelling from the door in the corner. You try and open it but it needs a card to function.

It looks like a security office, or it was once.
The bulkhead on the far wall has partially caved in, the top half holding the tsunami of earth back. The bulletproof glass itself has buckled in places, in the furthest window it's been pushed completely out of its frame by the crushing power on the wall.
You try not to think about it and sneak in through the hole in the window.

It's even worse in here, the cave in blocks out the door and on the far side there's more rubble than wall. There's parts of concrete rebar here too, you don't understand how it could've been forced in here, it's part of a reinforced concrete pillar. How deep underground must you be? Was there an earthquake? Will another one happen? What if the roof falls in on the exit and you get trapped here?

Your right hand suddenly covers your left eye.

"stop."

>Huh?

"i feel stressed. stop."

You guess that makes sense, you share the same hormones, the right amygdala affects stress...
Jesus, does that mean you're chronically stressed?

Your right hand nudges you.

"stop."

>...Thanks.

You search the office and find some switches underneath the table... and a blue security card. Bingo.

Check out the dark anomalous-gravity hall, see if it's any different with the power on, before climbing through the portal (and thus risking injury) again.

Before you go through the tear to try the security card, you check the weird sloping hall.
With the lights on you can see the end. A few feet further than you could climb is a wall with a solid metal circular seal in the centre, maybe a foot in diameter. It doesn't seem accessable, or even reachable right now, so you leave it alone.

You go through the tear, opening the door with the key card. You think you overstated the difficulty in getting through these, the danger is there but easy to clear. Past the circuit room is a lobby for a tall lift, to the other end of the room is a door and on the side opposite the lift is a wide tear half way through the wall.

The shouting you heard earlier is coming from the wide tear, it sounds male and in distress.

You decide to follow the voice and clamber through the tear to find an enormous room.
Everything on 3 sides is completely black, the only light is from the room you came from and it illuminates a dark rubble shore bordered by sheer, unmeasurable walls. There is also a chain under stress attached to a pole sticking out of the rubble.

If you strain your eyes you can spot vague lights in the far distance, too dim to look at directly but bright enough to confirm their presence in the sides of your vision.

You notice the voice is back through the way you came... the tear goes through the wall and from here you can access either side, the voice comes from the other side of the wall.

Still chasing the source of the voice, you climb through to the other side of the wall, you can come back this way easily.

On the other side is a partially collapsed hallway with cells along one side, you can quite clearly make out that the voice seems to be saying "Than" repeatedly in different intonations. The voice is coming from the third cell along.

You pause before you open the door, as if deciding whether the voice is a risk or not. All the thoughts you've had for this sort of thing since you woke up suggest you'd be eager to help, but there's still a part of your character deep inside which seems distrustful. What if the voice is a lunatic who wants to kill you? What if he's just another surgery patient like you?

The source of the voice seems to have noticed you at any rate, he's calling towards the door as if to get your attention specifically. You can't see any way to effectively communicate through a cell door, let alone with someone who can't communicate back verbally.
You ready yourself.

>Hey, I'm opening the door, so you'd better not be a psycho, ok?

This seems to elicit a positive response and you open the door, with the extra force of someone pushing hard from the inside.

From the tone of voice and body language he seems to say that he's better now, but he's still pretty curious about how he got here. Seems like he's had the same deal as you, only different.

You absentmindedly notice that the cells are all padded.

>>777425
Ask if he can write. That would be a better form of communication than intonation. Explain what your deal is and ask if he'd like to work together. Three heads are better than two, haha.

If he can't write, get him to nod for yes and shake his head for no and start asking him some questions about why he's here and how long he's been here.

You bring him over to the rubble and see what you can gather from him. First and foremost, his name is Jon and he woke up when the lights came on in the cell. He seems to have more memories than you, remembering not only his name but a little of what happened before he got here. Some kind of recovery ward for surgery patients in a gigantic hospital. He doesn't remember being put in a padded cell though, and he can't explain why this is all underground.

You establish how you got here, that you remember even less and that Jon is the first human you've seen here, living or dead.

Between you both, you develop a rudimentary sign language for Jon. He seems to have trouble with general grammar and finds it easier to pass on ideas using single words, but as far as you can tell he understands you clearly.

He notices your scar and asks, you explain how your brain seems to work - one side mainly being controlled by each hemisphere, how your other half is generally quiet, how you deal with it.

Despite the wound, he seems to like the attention.

On the walls is a dispenser and a panel, a scavenged door button for wheelchair users.
You depress it, sensing a puzzle, and one of the lights on the dispenser clicks on. You can clearly see a keycard behind thick glass.

With much to explore you pick a random door and go through, looking for further panels.
On the wall here is a picturesque hanging, pristine compared to the halls you came from.

You follow the doorway on the other side and arrive in a more traditional looking waiting room, sofa and all.
There is more art on the wal- wait what the hell

Uhhhh?
If you go through a side door you arrive back here?
You decide not to deeply question the spatial inconsistency, just another weird gimic of whatever's going on here.
Anyway you can see a room you haven't found yet so you head right in... through the door you originally went through.

This room is clearly more aged, there is residue where the painting has been hung for a while.
There's a panel on the floor here, and on the ceiling? From here you can see the other 3 rooms and you get the impression you've fully explored the area.

So, let me get this straight. Every time you enter a room, the doors lead to seemingly random destinations? The destinations changed in the first room... try leaving Jon behind in one of the rooms to see if he notices the doors changing destinations. Or maybe leaving him in a room will lock it, spacially.

Also look behind all the art and check the panels to see if you can do anything with them.

If nothing else, the sofa is probably the softest bed-like item we're aware of.
Anything behind the pictures, or under the sofa?

Before you check the sofa, you try the art on the walls.
Bingo.
Behind the hallway hanging you find a hole in the wall. It looks like the other sidOH SHIT

On the other side is the room you came in, you leant over a bit far and gravity took over? You're not even sure that makes sense, you're lying on the wall now.

Anyway, Jon signs that the rooms seem to change when he's not looking. He hasn't seen any new rooms though.

While you're here you check the panels close up.

It honestly looks like a scavenged door button, the sort of thing designed for wheelchair users. It makes sense for a hospital, you guess. The build is thorough, as if it's been modified for heavy duty use but other than that it just pushes back out when you stop pressing it in.

The card dispenser however, is alien. You can tell its use but it seems weirdly specific, like it's been made exclusively for a situation with 4 inputs. The build quality suggests use in a foundry or a mine, as if it's designed to sustain environmental extremes for long periods, not a hospital. It's also remarkably sturdy, surreally so. You get the impression you couldn't break in with anything you've seen so far, or will see for some time.

Someone or something wants you to solve a puzzle.

apologies for the wait, couldn't upload for a few days

The push to open button is on your 'floor' right? Try and see if you can bring something to this gravity state and leave it on the button. That plant, for instance.

>>779668
Yep, looks like we have to take advantage of the gravity-weirdness from the hole in the wall/ceiling to apply weights to all the buttons. In theory we only need two weights because Jon and you can push one button each.

If you go back and retrieve that IV stand you might be able to push both buttons in the "clearly more aged" room at the same time.

...and weigh down the floor panel in the older room, but it isn't enough. You can poke the IV drip onto the ceiling panel to make the machine open, but as soon as you let go the glass barrier shuts and locks before you can grab the card.
This isn't the solution, but you're clearly close. You get the feeling you have everything you need.

You should be able to stand on the button the pot is currently on and reach the keyboard. Put the pot where Jon currently is, have Jon stand where you are now and use the IV stand, then go stand where the pot currently is as previously mentioned.

This would work if you could find a way to make the plant hold to the sofa room wall like it did the other panel. You also get the feeling there's a solution without the IV drip.

Hint: The changed gravity still applies if you change room.

>>780315
Can we go through the hole twice? Would the stand the flower pot was on fit on top of one of the buttons?

With the extra reach of the roof hole use you manage to nagivate in whichever orientation you wish.
You place the flower pot on the waiting room wall...

It looks higher level than the one you used to open the circuit room door, you're not sure where you'll use this one yet but you're sure you will.

Thinking about it, the most direct way out of here is probably through the lift but there are still unexplored options.

>>781273
Alright let's check out the room on the right here: >>777362

We could also check out what's attached to the chain outside by the big rip but I want to check the unexplored room first.

You tread through the passageway and find a holding cell... with someone in it. She has long hair and is staying dead quiet, you can't be sure she's noticed you two yet.

You cautiously speak up, to greet her. She seems about to make some vicious remark before she stops herself and slowly responds instead by asking if we can see a way to let her out.

Her door has a busted electronic lock on it and the glass looks fairly sturdy.

She appears to be wearing a straightjacket.

>>781922
Tell her the lock looks broken. You're gonna go look for something to smash the glass with.

Time to pull on that chain.

Are we sure we want to free her? A straightjacket is more serious than a mere padded cell; it's possible they put it on her for a reason.

>>782345
I agree, it's risky. She's probably violent, and we should not take the straightjacket off her. However, it would be terrible to just leave her here, she might die.

You both go back to the cave room and pull on the chain. At first it barely moves as if something's blocking it, but as you both lean your weight in the blockage seems to move.

As you pull up the length you see a rise of bubbles cloud the water.
