About This Game

Arem has lived his life surrounded by ocean waves and fields of dying grass. Upon his small island lies the Settlement, a community of just three thousand- the Children of the Sun. Passing the long years in prayer and simple work, the blessed people of the island use their traditions to survive. Arem, like all young men and women of the Settlement, knows his duty to society: to perform his obligation for the greater good, and never to enter The Well- a passage leading deep into the unknown earth below.

Raised as a Woundbearer, Arem desires to come of age and play his crucial part in improving the lives of his community- none more so than Sachita, the burning girl, shunned by the Settlement but whom he loves dearly.

Yet, when Arem is suddenly given the responsibilities he always dreamed of, he finds his certainty shattered by the truth of the horror held at the Settlement’s close reach. Realizing that he has a much more important duty to fulfill, Arem becomes engrossed in a mystery he can never speak of.

Descending into the Well and desperately searching for an exit, Arem will discover the breaking point of his relationships.
