Subscribers to the theory of a parallel universe may well find food for thought here.
In theory, your conscious, elemental being has been encapsulated in a module which handily totes a gun and a retractable probe; you guide this sensor package through 64 rooms trying to unlock doors, defuse traps, accumulate treasure, pick up tools and generally ponder the nature of metaphysical reality. Experience, both visual and audial, will equip you to make progress as will the occasional sharp shooting.
Could this be thought of as an archetypal Adventure Game in a primeval, pure state? Perhaps. At any rate, the interest will last as long as the esoteric conundrums haven't yielded to your dilligent, inspired examinations, which in most cases will equate with eons.
