Story

You are a drifter. You’ve been endowed with powers from higher entities, enabling you to shift between dimensions in altered states of consciousness. 

Unfortunately, a brutal alien death cult is holding you captive and conducting weird medical experiments on you. They aim to harness your abilities for their own ends. 

Journey through this psychedelic, sci-fi, surrealist horror game where we explore the terror of the unknown, the power of dreams, and the horrifying fathoms of the human heart.
