The Dream-Rewinding Corridor only admits volunteers burdened by an obsession.
No players are dragged in against their will. Everyone who enters does so because they want to see someone they will never see again.
At twenty-seven, Lu Ze enters the corridor carrying a decade of regret.
As a boy, insecurity and self-doubt led him to push away Fang Peixia, the only person who had ever treated him kindly. An accident brought everything to an end, leaving Lu Ze with nothing but endless self-recrimination.
Echoing instances unfold one by one. Illusions tempt him to give in, fellow players each hide their own agendas, and every battle for fragments is fraught with danger.
The corridor states plainly in black and white: Reunion is not guaranteed.
Even if he makes it through every world, the person he longs for still has the right to refuse to see him.
He stakes every last bit of his obsession on moving forward, just to offer an apology that came too late.
But obsession is a prison, and reaching out does not guarantee an answer.
Or perhaps... this is all a deception?
