The player is the sole survivor of a rescue team sent after a hero's party that vanished in a dungeon. The party is found, but each member has lost something: a hero reduced to saying only "Yes" and "No," a mage stripped of magic, a warrior whose soul sits in a doll, and a priest acting strangely. The player picks one as a partner and tries to escape with that character alone.
