Intro Section
When you start the game, click on the "back door." For the the part when you control the sperm, just do nothing and let it go towards the moon (even with context that sentence is just really weird).
Labyrinth
Now you're in a room. Go to the top right area and look at the letter E on the ground. Press E on your keyboard and you'll be teleported upside-down. Use E on the circle of tiles to move them around. Make it where the one closer to the door has the 03 below the small triangle, and the make the one closer to the window have 31 below the triangle. Now go to the R on the floor near where you appeared, and press R while looking at it so you can flip back to normal. Walk outside on the black walkway that appeared and follow it.

When you reach the end of the walkway, you'll be in an actual labyrinth now. Go up the stairs, and take the first path that leads straight to your left. After walking forward for a bit and going through a bit of small turns, you'll eventually find a small corridor that leads to the end of the maze (essentially the top left area). Go through it, and enter the black door to reach the end of the maze.
The Equilibrium
You are now in a corridor with text on the wall. Walk through the walls with text and keep going down the path. You'll fall down a hole and be in a grey office. Continue walking through it, and you'll eventually reach a giant glowing ball with static around it. Walk around the ball and enter the white door on the other side.

You will now enter a room with 4 different statues in each corner. Upon clicking the E on the ground, you'll enter a new room that also has 4 statues. Make it where both the rooms have the statues, then back back from where you entered and go through the new white door towards the back.
The Box
You're in a room. Just walk around for about a minute and a black door will eventually appear for you to go through.
Out of the box
Follow the steps through the dark path. Keep going and eventually the walls will disappear. Turn on the TVs you see and the water level will rise. Don't stop moving and continue traveling up the steps until you reach the white door.
illuminated (symbol part)
Follow the ground path so you can get to the small building. If you fall in the water, you'll die and have to restart this section. To progress to the next section, you'll have to match the symbols around the area so that the arrow is pointing on a specific symbol (similar to the room puzzle at the beginning of the game).

Pictured below are the symbols that need to be under the points. Start from the right side of the double-door and continue going around (as for the pictures, read from left to right and so on).

illuminated (after the symbol part)
Once you match all of the symbols, you'll get a view from the sky and the door will open. Fall down the hole and you'll be falling towards the Moon. Look up to see the Earth, then look back down to see yourself fall into a forest shrine area with a cross. When you're on foot, go behind the "true name of God" sign to see 4 letter blocks. Press E on each letter to change it; do this to make the letters Y-H-W-H. When you do this, the giant cross will fly towards Earth.
collective unconscious
Your spiritual journey is almost over. Walk towards the giant black head statue and you'll see blocks with different element names. Make it so that it reads Fire-Earth-Wind-Water, and the door will open. On the walls are actual reviews of the game during its beta. Go to the TV to watch a mini trailer of the game. When it's over, you'll be asked if you want to see what's inside. If you choose yes, the head statue will be right in front of you (not a jump scare, but it may catch you off guard) and other parts of the game such as the cross will be shown. Once you make your choice, you'll be back at the title screen.
