So I sat down to write a recap ofthis weeks episodeofSeverancewhen I ran into a dilemma.
Which, at first, I thought was dumb.
But then I saw my numbers going up and well, I just kept going.
The work is mysterious and important.Image: Apple TV+
you’ve got the option to play yourself over atlumon-industries.com.
There your box will turn into a workstation fromthe MDR department on the severed floorat Lumon Industries in Kier.
Which soundssuper weirdif you havent watchedSeverancebut, if you have, you know what we mean.
A screenshot of the game over at lumon-industries.com – Apple.
Using your mouse and trackpad, you might highlight numbers and refine them into groups.
Is there any method to this madness?
If you choose the wrong set of numbers, the screen will tell you so.
Soon, you begin to see how it works though.
Certain numbers just start to stand out (because they get larger than the rest).
So you lasso them and poof!
So I kept going.
And at 75% the screen turned into a Mr. Milchick-approved dance party.
And then, at 100%well, I dont want to spoil it.
Suffice to say, its not super exciting, but its also kind of fun.
What is it accomplishing?
Why are some numbers more important than others?
Who decides what goes where?
Why is Cold Harbor so freaking important?
Unfortunately, thisSeverancemobile game did not provide any of those answers.
We assume, eventually, the show will.
But that didnt stop me from channeling my inner innie and doing some refining this morning.
How far did you get?
Oh, and praise Kier.
