About the Game

Eric Foy, an former Army soldier, awakens in the night with a phone call by his wife, Audrey. He realizes that it's late, she's not there, and she's in distress while pregnant with their first child. He hangs up the phone with her in a panic, and rushes to where she said she would be... but she's not there. He frantically searches for her only to find a journal, a photo, and clues to lead the way.

As he makes his way through unrelated locations, he finds clues that his wife has been there. But she's not there. He also finds remnants of other people that are not there either. Everyone has disappeared. Everyone. Where have they all gone? With each experience, he learns of strange happenings not only where he's from, but all over the world. Is what's happening here, happening everywhere? Is it all related? Why does everything look and feel so strange?
