Level 7: Memory Adjustment

“This is where they take you if you remember too much. I glimpsed it. I never went in.”

---

Overview

Administrative-only—players glimpse it through cracks. It’s the threshold between the known facility and the Vault.

---

Visual Language

• Medical bay crossed with data center.
• Chairs with too many wires.
• Screens showing dreams (memories that aren’t yours).
• The smell: Ozone and lavender/coolant.

---

Access Mechanics

Only accessible through glitches:

• Clip through wall in Level 6.
• Pause during red alarm.
• Die exactly 7 times in Level 6.

Environmental Storytelling

The Chairs

Seven chairs visible:

• Chair 2: Occupied, EEG showing “peak coherence” (too compliant).
• Subject 23: “Treatment interrupted. Status: UNKNOWN.”

The Vent

Loose vent cover leads to Level 8: The Vault. The transition isn’t a door—it’s a tear.

“I saw the chairs. I stopped asking questions… and started looking for vents.”
