No matter how short the path, every journey has its thorns. To make your way through them is to embrace the eternal cycle of creating and destroying, learning and unlearning, like the Ouroboros. Do you want to try?
THE CYCLE BROKE
Guide the snake with the joystick or arrow/WASD keys.
You've gained a little more wisdom. You'll know when to use it.
Question here...
Go back to your corner and think harder!
Sometimes, you have to change the course to change the outcome. Will you do it?

Tap a tile next to the empty space to slide it.
Now make your way toward revelation. Will is the first change.
Hey! I won't be around for long. Want an extra Radar turn?

MISSION: Navigate the dark maze of your mind and reach the core to heal your memory.
ACCESS CARDS: Doors are locked. You must explore to find the three keys of the mind: AWARENESS, REASON, and WILL.
DEFENSE: Intrusive thoughts will trap you. To defeat them, you must solve their riddles. If your mind goes blank, you can shoot your way out, but you only have 3 bullets for the entire journey. Use these wildcards as a last resort. As you journey deeper, the Oracle may appear to offer some help... if she speaks, listen carefully.
POWERS: The Future button will allow you to see farther and plan your moves accordingly. The Past button reveals the path you've already taken around you. The SPRINT button grants a burst of extra speed for 10 seconds before it needs to recharge. The RADAR button points the way to your current objective for 45 seconds, and turns itself off once you reach it.
NAVIGATION: Watch your step. Standard paths are safe to explore, but floors with orange arrows are one-way passages. Once you cross them, there is no turning back.
THORNS: Some paths are blocked by walls of thorns. They only yield to the wisdom of the Alchemist, who waits hidden somewhere in the maze. His liquid works every time you need it, and once you carry it, you may also plant thorns of your own to seal the paths you choose.

The moment has come when the past reveals itself as an ever-present reality, and the future still governs your steps like a puppeteer. The moment has come when you find yourself wondering: are you truly yourself, or simply the sum of your circumstances...or perhaps both?
You must recover the AWARENESS, REASON, and WILL cards in order to enter each of the rings of the maze until you find its core.
