Y

Y is a tunnel of lights in the shape of a Y. You have to choose: will you turn right or left? As in real life, you are presented with a dilemma, and your choice is not without consequences.

As a rule, we make choices relying on how we experience our environment through our senses and emotions, and on how we interpret them according to our background. But what happens when you get into a space that is completely new to you, a space that challenges your senses in such a way that reality is somewhat distorted? What will you choose? Will you make the right choice? How do you know your decision has been wise? Can you choose freely? Are you really free when you make decisions?

Come in, answer these questions and go ahead!
