Quentin, the protagonist, is being sent to a settlement with several other people from his neighborhood. In this settlement, through abandoning free will, it is hoped that connections will form between people and that it will mean a new future for humanity free of the indifference and solitude that have overtaken the world.

Quentin will meet various characters at the camp, with attitudes ranging from cheerful to arrogant. Over ten hours of play, players will get to know these people, navigating a psychological, philosophical story of the breakdown of the values and culture of a society together with them.
