Perhaps the best way to describe this game is by comparing it to a good book. Although unlike a book, which is a complete product that cannot be changed, you can decide how the story unfolds.

Mystery is everywhere in this game, you are surrounded by a shroud of uncertainty from the moment you wake up in the morgue and many of them will never be explained or solved. You play as "The nameless one" , A man who for some reason cannot die. As you travel through the game world and its fascinating places, where you find more details about your past and how you became immortal, you will take part in the most brilliantly written dialogues and side quests ever created in gaming history. The game`s true strength is its mind boggling story and setting. The "world" is described as a multiverse, a place where reality can be created by just thinking about it. Worlds can be shaped and destroyed by the power of a mans thought - The question is of course; how would this universe exist? what kind of laws are rules will such a place have?

You begin the adventure in the "city of doors" - the center of the multiverse. Where any number of portals to different universes or locations exist, and the key to those portals can be anything from holding a certain item in your hand, to a poem or a certain feeling.
Thus making the game world seem much bigger than it is presented in any other game, adding one more layer to the very immersive and beautifully written plot.

There is not much more i can say that hasn't been said before, except that this game is a must have for every true RPG fan out there.
