You play as a wandering soul discarded within an ever-shifting cosmic prison. Your existence is a blank slate until a mysterious woman grants you an immortal body and a singular, absolute command: escape the prison and defeat the entity that rules the prison, the Keeper. Armed with newfound power, you must fight through the distorted architecture of this realm, facing the monstrosities born from the prison's very walls.
As you descend deeper into the shifting layers, the world begins to reveal itself. You aren't just fighting for survival; you are beginning to learn the chilling truth behind the woman’s motives, the Keeper’s true identity, and the reality of why you exist. Every victory peels back the mystery of what this realm was truly meant to contain and why you were the one given the strength to break it.
