About this game

Lose yourself in a lonely entity's embrace...

Storyline

Awakening in an aquatic abyss, with no memory of how you got there or how you're even able to breathe, you're greeted by an entity who seems almost too pleased to meet you. Perhaps it can offer answers, but whether such a being can be trusted is down to you to determine.
