Evelyn wakes on a desolate beach at sixteen years old with no memory of how she arrived there. The scenery is strange but striking — as if it were designed to be beautiful and has faded from whatever it once was. Not far from where she woke, she finds a large bell covered in thick vines with ancient carvings on its surface. Clearing the vines and reading the inscription reveals the message: Ring to End the Pain. How she gets home from here runs through a mysterious world full of unusual characters and puzzles, all tied to a story that resolves unexpectedly.
