[L.O.G.1:] We have received immediate approval.

[L.O.G.1.1:] This has given us enough funding to slightly increase the size of the test chamber.

[L.O.G.2:] We have received confusion about how to access the experiments.

[L.O.G.2.1:] Try reading the instructions listed on the interface directly after turning it on. You will find the necessary buttons to control everything.

[L.O.G.2.2:] We have received further confusion that involved codenames which we do not use. Based on the legible section we have concluded that the test chamber is empty. This is intentional as we do not have any further plans.

[L.O.G.2.3:] Someone has started to doubt their intelligence. If there is nothing that could initiate a reaction, then the most logical conclusion is that nothing will occur.

[L.O.G.2.4:] Someone has decided to leave on the basis that we and our facility are too clever to understand. This is a very reasonable thing to do if people are overthinking what our facility is. Our conclusion is that the aforementioned scenario is currently happening. The test chamber is empty.

[L.O.G.2.5:] You appear to be finding interest in our descriptive writing instead of the test chamber. You can request items to be sent into the test chamber via the drop zone. We were expecting someone to eventually request an item, but we have concluded that it required more intelligence than we could receive.

if people find the log notes more fun then the actual game maybe you could add them to the game?

maybe with controllable letters, then people would have something to do at least

I am going to keep coming back for the L.O.G. comments. They are my favorite part. We all know the test chamber is empty.

Yep... to clever for me :(  I hope others enjoy :)

I am confounded. Looked at source and stuff. I feel...not so smart. :(

Ok... I see the new log  entries. I still do not see anything that interacts with anything. There is nothing to move, I just see the background - no other sprites. Looking at source I see puzzlescript, so I think I just must be missing something.

The source code is included in the html scripts and there doesn't seem to be anything in terms of win conditions, plus there's no player position on the level map:

Does that mean the plot might thicken? Awaiting new logs :/

Either that or an excellent troll :)

I have no idea how to start. Nothing seems to do anything. Confounded, indeed. Any hints would be appreciated :)

Wow.  So far, this is better than some of the confounding calendar games.
