- labelStory and SettingSet in the remote Town-on-Gorkhon during a 12-day outbreak of the 'Sand Plague.' The player assumes the role of Daniil Dankovsky (The Bachelor), who arrives seeking a man who has lived for centuries but finds himself defending his failed actions in an interrogation.The narrative is non-chronological, allowing players to revisit Days 1-12 to uncover the origins of the plague and the secret to immortality.
