The author of the game has died. The protagonist of his last, unfinished game enlists the aid of the player (you) in figuring out what happened. Consequently, you wind up exploring that last game: an incomplete replica of a world. Nicely devious in conception, but rather difficult - consulting the hint menu is a virtual necessity, especially in the time-constricted endgame.
