You don't know who you are, or how you got here. There's no explanation for any of this. There's only one thing you can do. Endure the challenges that get thrown in your way, learn them as best as you can and find a way to escape from this eternal punishment. Fight. Not to save the world, but to maybe save yourself.(Storyline via IGDB)
