You wake up after a long fall through magnetic storms to find yourself facing a gigantic Tower standing in the middle of the void. You don’t know who you are or where you are but soon cryptic messages start floating around you: you understand that you have to find way to climb the Tower, and you have to hurry. So begins your journey to the top, a journey that will eventually allow you to solve the mystery surrounding this strange and abstract world...(Storyline via IGDB)
