It is an unofficial fan homage.\n\n## What it does\n\nExplore the corridor, switch between Reality and Code vision, interact with objects and experiment with telekinesis. The scene includes authored agent dialogue and an in-engine encounter. It runs in Three.js without a live AI service.\n\n## Current status\n\nAn active, hosted desktop playtest. Character animation and fight performance still need work, and the initial asset download is substantial. Mouse and keyboard are recommended. The project's assets retain their own attribution and licence terms."}
