Throughout the game, Briar and Lute will discover the truth about themselves and their power but must work together to stay true to their unbreakable bond. The world you’re in is experiencing a cataclysmic incident, one that looks to destroy the fabric of reality, and you’re on a suicide mission to close this tear.
