I click around until I get just the right spot to change the camera angle right, and find the items I need to create a massively improbable chain of uses and events to get out.

Is there any other kind?

Now, will it be baby oil? Or pudding?

I perform a topological inversion on the room. Presto! I am now outside the room!

Unfortunately, the rest of the universe is inside the room.

[QUOTE=Sophie\_Z]  
Once you’re out of the room, you find yourself in a hallway carved out of rock. At either end of the hallway is a door. One says **Simplicity.** The other says **Complexity.**

Pick one.

Drawing on all my skills as a FPS gamer, I open one door, look and see what’s there, then open the other one and repeat. Then I choose the path without the lava.
