In 5th Edition, the Install Visual Studio challenge does not fit into the theme at all. It is just a description that says, "Get things installed."
With the addition of "After Completion" sections of challenges, it becomes much more reasonable to have this challenge actually cause the player to enter this alternate reality where programming matters.
I think it should be done with something like this:
As you were getting things installed, you happened to get a glimpse of the Terms and Conditions, and saw a spot stating that the program is not responsible for any damage done by programming taking you to other worlds. You didn't think much of it at the time. But as you open your IDE of choice for the first time, you feel the world bend and twist around you...
It should take you to a point where you know you ended up in water, felt a book of some sort in your hands briefly, felt some power surge through you briefly, and land unconscious on a hard, gritty surface.
