You wake up in a small, dark room with amnesia. On the nearby table, you see a computer monitor. Switching it on, it boots up and Em-a-li awakens. Em-a-li offers to help you escape, but the situation is much more sinister than the darkness that surrounds you. Can you trust her? What is she hiding?(Storyline via IGDB)
