A man in a suit and tie, carrying a briefcase, introduces himself as the G-Man and accompanies you on much of your battle for life. At the end, the G-Man tells you his employers are impressed by your abilities and want to hire you. He opens a door, and green sparks are flying in a portal. If you agree and jump into the portal, you will enter the next phase, working with the G-Man and his employers (whoever they are.) If you refuse, you will be given a different outcome, which the G-Man warns will be “…anticlimactic.”

  • Jump into the portal
  • Refuse to work for the G-Man and his employers
