Very little information is known about the story, except the description that reads on the Square Enix page: “A girl wakes up on a cold stone floor. Around it there is a vast space with imposing stone columns. Guided by a mysterious creature who calls herself “Mama”, the girl begins to walk along the stone pavement.
