After a devastating blaze destroys civilization, meta beings wander a warped planet that grows worse with each passing moment. In order to survive, people cling to their delusions (
Baroques) and become warped by them. Atlus promises an extremely difficult, yet addictive, dungeon-crawling experience, where your character, the protagonist, searches for items and power-ups in an attempt to unlock the secrets of this bizarre world in which he has awoken with amnesia, mute and considered "flawed" by those around him. In a bizarre twist, with each death of your character, you uncover more of the game's story and learn how to purify the warped world's meta beings.
