Prologue:You play as Chris, a highly skilled hitman with dissociative identity disorder, who was lured into the Liminal Vortex Realm (LVR), far from the year 2082. When the boundaries of LVR were breached, interdimensional anti-troops — part of a campaign to conquer the realm — are ordered to hunt him down for unknown reasons, adding to the a layer of complexity to the situation. As Chris fights to escape, he unravels forgotten mysteries about his life. Features:Immersiveness: realistic graphics with blend of retro style, atmospheric sound design, a dark atmosphere, and unique puzzles to solve.

Puzzles: In order to progress and open the EXIT door, the player must solve logically allocated puzzles throughout the floors.
