The core of the game is Will’s personal journey, not the "spaces." Liminality and Backrooms are just the stage.

He seeks peace by "shifting" to safe levels, but dreams morph into an inescapable nightmare. Your task: guide Will to wakefulness. Through dreams, you’ll uncover ways to alter reality and secrets that reshape his family’s fate.
