The Wrong Shadow

This technical prototype tests the first Book 1 augmented-reality mechanic: a normal marker briefly produces a shadow falling in the wrong direction. It is a pipeline test, not a final canon puzzle.

Camera effect: this page opens your rear camera after you press Begin. The effect is brief and contains no gore. Stop immediately if camera-based effects make you uncomfortable.
