The story presents a moral about perseverance in the face of adversity, set against a backdrop of a dark plot where characters descend into madness. Players navigate a lonely base and a volcano, defending against threats with limited weaponry, while the narrative effectively introduces new upgrades through its unfolding events.

“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Player has a lonely base, a volcano, and his mission is to defend its doors with very restricted weaponry.”
