Upon waking up alive in a familiar but different world, Timber wanders around the places where her father took her for walks. Recognizing that her creator is missing, the little doll searches for him with eagerness and longing, realizing that the closer she is to her destination, the emptier her journey becomes. After all, these are memories, right? The good, the bad, and the incomplete.
When playing as the Timber doll, the player must become familiar with controlling her opponents and utilizing her jumping skills to cross the hostile environments that surround her, all while searching for her father. Players must use logic, skill and resilience to cross the curtains of oblivion and see the carpenter again.
