The premise, in the publisher's words
It's been so long since you've last been with her, seen her... Something inside of you eats at you. The world around you is bleak and dark, but the thought of meeting her once again keeps you going. Follow the short linear story as you fight with your own mind, your fears and worries taken form, as you search for the part of yourself you've lost. This short adventure serves as a companion piece to vai5000 and maji*'s 2025 track of the same name, emerald, and expands on the story of the song. It builds on vai5000's prior release of oath, acting as a smaller self contained experience in the same vein.
