. . . Wake up.
For everyone who received that message, it was the first memory they had. It materialized in front of them on their white screen. It awakened them, and though it was the first message, it was not the last. They soon figured out that they in turn could write back, to ask this force questions. It was only with their mind, because the words and the white were the only thing they could see. They had no body and nothing to hold. It became the thing that they looked forward to, because the words were the only thing there in the white, besides their own thoughts. They had in-depth conversations about the world and what it was like, since they had only preconceptions. They spoke about life, textures, colors, smells, sounds. If it surprised any of them that they knew about the world, they didn't voice it. Given that line of thought and the amount of time they seemed to have to think, some of them might have wondered how strange it was that they knew language, and how to read, since they had no memory beyond the black and white. It went on this way for what could have been years... or maybe only a week. And then there came a message that changed them all.
. . .
I can show you color, life, the world.
. . .
Just follow my instructions.
. . .
Begin.
The people materialized in rooms devoid of colors. Everything was black and white still, even the people themselves appeared to be black and white, but they had bodies. The rooms were drafty, giving them a sense of feeling for the first time. For the first time they felt cold. They were grouped in partnerships of exactly two to a group.
On the wall, the script continued.
In each new room, something will be added to your world. When you have all the things you want, you will finally know you are free. In each room there will be a clue on the wall. The other person with you is your partner. In order to progress, you will need to work together. This is the entrance zone, the easiest room. Familiarize yourself with your partner so that you may proceed.
