a Y2K flash-portal simulation of the Allegory of the Cave, exactly as p4ck3th4ck3r would have shipped it in 2002: guess the shadow puppets while chained to the wall, snap your chain and mash your way up the tunnel, get blinded by the Forms, then climb back down to tell the others โ€” who throw rocks at you for your trouble. @ver.ooo asked for this one.
