You are Barry Gittings - a man who volunteered for a classified experiment inside the Vortex Complex, a remote underground facility established during the Cold War.
You don’t know what’s behind the next door.
You don’t know who’s watching.
You only know the doors opened, the voice welcomed you, and the test began.
