Hold right-click with the Injector to dose yourself. Walk into the Box, close the door behind you and stand still. Five seconds later the world fades out. Full guide
5. Pick a door¶
You wake in the Corridor: an endless hallway with a door every four blocks. The one you are facing leads home.
Doors near home lead to gentle worlds. Bring 
White Chalk to mark your way. Full guide
6. Explore, then come back¶
You arrive beside a weathered copy of the Box. Grab the cassette from the chest by its door, explore, and when you are ready, step back into that Box with the Serum still running and shut the door. You are back in the Corridor at the same door. Walk to the home door. Full guide
Watch the clock
One dose lasts 20 minutes. You are warned one minute and ten seconds before it runs out. If it fades while you are in a world, you are stuck there until you find or brew more Serum, so always carry a spare ampoule.
