Story

─── Once, you were someone ───

This is the Psycho Cloister.

Your Psycho Cloister exists as a labyrinth, and that labyrinth is the place that defines you. Several personalities live in this labyrinth, each one making its rounds from room to room.

When thought reaches its peak, a self is established and can escape this cycle of rebirth. In this space, a few "interpretations" are accepted as establishing a self:

- Assembling the countless scattered fragments of the self.

- Recalling in an instant, and discovering what the self truly is.

- Reaching the deepest layer of the subconscious and unifying the whole world.

But remember: in this world, only one self can be established. To establish a self is to make every other self disappear.

Will you remain here? Or will you cross over beyond perception? This is your one and only chance to prove that you are you.
