The story unfolds at the crossroads of science and religious mysticism.
Each character is a complex personality, revealed through the choices you make.
The art style blends gothic aesthetics with elements of bio-art and sacred symbolism.
In this world, forsaken by God, every newborn child is swathed in darkness, a veil drawn across its face, stripped of that which cannot be seen - the lack of which has rendered it “Empty”: the soul.
Though the souls of men have become a resource beyond replenishment, yet have men learned to forge them in the crucible of the laboratory. But the price of this discovery - none are eager to name it. Nor do they fathom what calamities such a breach must surely summon.
At the heart of the story stand four characters, each carrying their own burdens and histories:
Ilayaa Cosett — The protagonist. A “defective product,” desperately trying to diagnose the flaw that turns out to be an inseparable part of the fragile mechanism she calls herself.
Daemon Veres — Possessor of a soul that is real, yet steeped in darkness. Equally versed in science and scripture, he despises the faithful of both.
Cassian Tess — The ideal product. A dubious heir, yet an exceptionally good man.
Dakota Schwartz — The big sister. A small cog in a vast machine. A desired victim and an impenetrable shield.
Your decisions shape not only Ilaya’s fate, but the destiny of the fortress-city of “Echo.”
Will you help Ilaya preserve her fragile peace of mind — or, with your own hands, send her into the Void?
Which of the four will become your ally, your enemy, or something more? (Romantic relationships are possible.)
Will you immerse yourself in the philosophical drama, unraveling the causes and reaping the consequences of the "Exodus"?
Or will you delve into the darkest corners of Echo, one of humanity’s last remaining strongholds?
