Breakthrough Award Reason
The rule is simple: players closely observe underground passageways, proceed down the corridor if they identify anomalies, and turn back if they do.
If players are correct in anomaly correction, the number in the sign at the starting point changes.
The number starts 0. Players need to be correct eight times in a row to escape from the passage. If players are wrong, the number is reset back to 0.
Players are suspicious when they see anything on the way, including men, no smoking signs, Braille blocks, advertisements, instruction signs, and security cameras.
Many games are so-called huge works. On the other hand, this game is based on an ingenious idea using a very simple rule: players need to identify anomalies in the closed space, that is, underground passageways.
The Selection Committee evaluated the idea and gave the award.
Work Introduction
You are trapped in infinite underground passageways.
Closely look for the surrounding to reach the “Exit 8.”
Don’t miss anomalies.
If you identify anomalies, turn back at once.
If not, don’t turn back.
Players go out from the Exit 8.
