The game takes place in Vienna, Austria. Markus is a young man without any ambitions in life just living from day to day. However he is haunted by nightmares that don't make any sense. The only reoccuring thing is a young woman in a white dress. Who is she? And why does she seem so familiar... Are they really just dreams? In this short adventure, play the first chapter in Markus's quest to become the person he was always supposed to be.(Storyline via IGDB)
