It&#8217;s designed to modify the capabilities of the human body, giving you the power to control your environment simply by controlling your physical state (your pulse rate, breathing, posture etc).<\/p>\n<p>Armed with some wearable tech your assignment is to navigate your way though a maze of connected rooms, using your new powers to complete a series of increasingly challenging tasks along the way.<\/p>\n<p>But this is a smart maze: it knows where you are, and how you\u2019re doing. You begin to realise that someone \u2013 or something \u2013 is working against you. You&#8217;ll need to stay calm to retain control of your surroundings.
