There are four transparent surfaces surrounding, with a faint flow of soapy iridescence, and a roughness above and below like the ends of a broken and worn crystal. Outside these walls are many other parallel surfaces, eating away at each other's transparency until it has the obscuring effect of thick fog, without the softness of the form of fog. Even the soapy colours cannot well be seen beyond the closest, except as a hazy movement travelling along vertical knife-edge paths.
A drop of clear yellow falls from above, and is lost on your shoe. A plucking rains over the rigid planes, and the iridescence flees into nothing, leaving all as colourless as the void, or an old photograph. Another drop falls, and you hear the "plick" as it lands again on your shoe; now a crash shakes the light, which gives again a sense of movement to the unmoving clustered walls; this movement the opposite of hazy.
A crack races through within the walls where you stand, and you shift quickly, as it almost trims you. You suddenly beat with your fists on the wall, but this does nothing. Another drop falls, now on your back, making you jerk, and you could not see if it was yellow.
It must have been, as all the walls open like so many baobab flowers, or bananas, the peeling surfaces passing through each other. You dodge them, spread your wings, and buzz away.

Original Hebrew Scripture from Jeremiah 22
"He judged judgement of the lowly and needy, then it was well: was not this to know me? saith Yahweh."
דָּן דִּין־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אָז טוֹב הֲלוֹא־הִיא הַדַּעַת אֹתִי נְאֻם־יְהוָה
Original Hebrew Scripture from Proverbs 17
"He who counteth righteous the wicked, and he who counteth wicked the righteous, an abomination to Yahweh also are both of them."
מַצְדִּיק רָשָׁע וּמַרְשִׁיעַ צַדִּיק תּוֹעֲבַת יְהוָה גַּם־שְׁנֵיהֶם

Basically this is a proof of concept for making 3D environments in Twine. I was seeing what I could do and how I could do it, and was quite pleased with the possibilities.
There are three controls: left, forward, and right (in some places some directions are not available). You can explore all the various places you can go - but if you take too long to find "them" then "hunter" will catch you.
Original Hebrew Scripture from Deuteronomy 27
"Cursed be he that turneth away the judgement of the sojourner, fatherless, and widow."
אָרוּר מַטֶּה מִשְׁפַּט גֵּר־יָתוֹם וְאַלְמָנָה
Original Hebrew Scripture from Exodus 32
"And Yahweh said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot from my book."
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה מִי אֲשֶׁר חָטָא־לִי אֶמְחֶנּוּ מִסִּפְרִי
"This is Croc Colch speaking, to you, Gunther, my travelling companion."
The walls, and, strangely, the floor, are of concrete blocks. If you reached out, you could touch either wall. The plaster ceiling is low enough that you have to stoop; Croc, being at his age less than five feet tall, walks erect freely.
"Do not look too long or too close at the concrete blocks: you begin to discern the sphinxes, and their smiles bewitch."
The incandescent lights are set in reflective concavities at frequent regular intervals, so that, though so often the labyrinth has a corner or junction, there is always a little too much light. You feel the heat as you pass under the lights like the throbbing of a fevered heart.
"Watch the footprints - I forgot, sorry."
Your eyes cannot see so well as his, and are not as used to noticing such things as footprints.
Wedge faces of assailant beasts of the labyrinth: you fence yours away, and brutalise it, with your long and heavy file. Croc frightens the rest by expressing his intense interest in them, and photographing them with his white Rotorwand camera.
Not long after a gangrel fiend launches upon you from a recess with shrubs (looking very suspicious underground). With the end of your file you had punched the fiend upward into a light fixture, where it was electrocuted. Croc Colch gives you a thumbs up.
You wonder if there are still footprints that he sees.
"Naturally, squatter at the seal."
This squatter grins as is custom, and claps all its paws together and on the ground. Stinking creatures akin to worms or slugs on membraneous wings swarm around the two of you. Neither of you are frightened of them, and do not fight or kill any of these. The squatter frowns so profoundly as to leave drool on its complex seat, and squeezes into the hairline crack between two concrete blocks, like a child pulling the bedclothes over his head, with a sound like wet yarn pulled through a tight hole in leather.
"Mind the lintel."
Sharp as an axe, and humming a deadly tone.
Now for the prize: tearing off the paper in the closet.
"Succulent, flavourful, that biteable consistency: these are the best dates."
They are.

Trove of the lock, breaking share of driven palm.
You look around, and see the level sand, grey as dust and rough as milliseconds. Greenish intestines lie coiled in a brushed steel basin over the archway - night falls fast on the pepper band.
There is the heap of string around the ball, and there are the lattice windows rough with dust.
A stream of molten fingerprints delta in the full camera satchel; behaviour tells on the mountain height finder, never to new balances. Down the chute again to the dock of peeling piles.
