Each world gets Desmond closer to overcoming his own issues. Each patient’s mind gets its own world to explore, complete with a variety of puzzles, combat, storylines, enemies, and mysteries to solve. The story begins with players taking on the role of Desmond, a troubled therapist who takes a journey back into the psyche of his past patients to help solve some of his own psychological issues.
