The game takes place in the protagonist's recurring nightmare. In this nightmare, the protagonist wakes up hungry in the middle of the night, viewing the world from the perspective of a microwave. Before reaching the kitchen, he must navigate through a dark and eerie setting, even being attacked within the dream manifestations of his guilt. Finally, upon reaching the kitchen and opening the microwave on the table, he will find an unpleasant surprise.(Storyline via IGDB)
