How to Play
Phase 1: Getting Set Up
- Request early access. The game is in limited early access. Submit your name and email at the download page. Approved players receive an APK and setup instructions by email.
- Acquire Raven Prism glasses. Cant requires Raven Prism AR glasses. If you are prototyping with Xreal Air 2, the app supports it in tethered mode.
- Install the companion app. Install the APK received in your invitation email on an Android 8.0+ device. Open it and create an account or sign in.
- Pair your glasses. Enable Bluetooth on your phone. In the app, go to Settings and tap "Pair Glasses." Hold the glasses near the phone. The glasses client loads automatically once paired.
- Confirm connection. The glasses display should show "SIGNAL ACQUIRED" and your username. The app map should show your location.
Phase 2: A Session
- Open the map. Distortion markers appear as pulsing rings on the live map. Each marker shows intensity (1-10) and approximate bearing from your position.
- Navigate to a distortion. Distortions are tied to real-world locations. Walk until the marker indicates you are within range (roughly 30 meters). The glasses will register the distortion automatically.
- Gaze to resolve. Look at the distortion through your lenses. A tuning indicator appears: a frequency wave that builds in intensity as you hold your gaze. Do not look away.
- The resolution. At threshold, the distortion collapses. A sharp tone cuts to silence. If a story fragment is assigned and you have sufficient Attunement, it delivers immediately to your glasses and archives in the app.
- Collect and continue. Attunement is awarded. Area stability updates. The map refreshes. Some areas are dense. Some are quiet. Both are worth exploring.
Attunement Levels
