The plot revolves around the protagonist, a thirty-something-year-old man who finds himself in a world where the cycle of events lacks vividness. Living in a "liminal space" created by corporate office spaces and his own cluttered apartment, the man finds himself slowly dissolving from the weariness of living. This is evident in how his internal monologue shows through in the form of disruptive fragments of text.

This is further exemplified through how the man’s relationships are the battlegrounds of the story. He must deal with Elena, who serves as a reminder of who he once was; Marcus, who acts as a friend who imposes positivity on him, making him feel as though he is carrying another person's burden; and Sarah, who represents a coworker who can be safely distanced emotionally.

The gameplay is based on the "Social Battery" system, which forces the players to make decisions between surviving or nurturing their social ties. There are no magic solutions to this problem, but the story highlights the monumental effort that goes into accomplishing small feats such as cleaning a kitchen or telling a single truth.
