Maxious

"You enter the first room of the mansion and it’s completely dark. You stumble around bumping in to the furniture but gradually you learn where each piece of furniture is. Finally, after six months or so, you find the light switch, you turn it on, and suddenly it’s all illuminated You can see exactly where you were. Then you move into the next room and spend another six months in the dark."
