Spacetime is less stable than it appears. The Interstice — the space between dimensions — is becoming unstable, heading toward an event called the Shattering: time folding, ripping, and merging until it resets, only to shatter again. Only Karluq retains his memories through each cycle, aware of the ultimate fate of the universe. Too weak to change it alone, he recruits Travelers — Free Awarenesses merged with Vessels — across countless Shatterings. Players enter the Interstice as a Free Awareness, jumping between Vessels and traveling through portals to other dimensions, working to make those Vessels strong enough to survive what is coming.
