·
Level

User will walk through a passage in a cave where it is small
and the headlight will flicker and turns off. Heartbeat sound effect will

continue walking through the passage. The heartbeat sound effect will still be

a GUI explaining the symptoms and treatment.
·
Level

User will reach a point in the cave where they are in a small
area, like a room or some sort. A pile of boulders will collapse behind the
user, trapping them. User will need to interact with the boulders in order or
move them and make a path for the users to slide through. It will fail and they
will be trap in that small area having the right conditions of Claustrophobia.
Then, they will enter a state of panic and the heartbeat sound effect will yet
again started. They will need to find a way out of the small area having little
or zero chance of escaping. The sound effect will go faster and the screen will
turn blurry indicating lack of vision. At the end will pop a GUI explaining the
