The only memory he has concern an image of a hill on top of which stands a sculpture of an extraordinary forest made of gigantic, human hands. During his travels, the protagonist gradually learns the truth about himself and the reality he is in. The partially non-linear story regularly forces the player to make difficult moral choices. After four or five hours of playing, those decisions will lead the player to one of a few alternative endings.
