In Tenebrous, you awaken in a desolate, twilight-dimmed realm with no memory of your identity or purpose. The world feels fractured—a maze of half-lit corridors and whispered echoes. As you wander, desperation grows until you stumble upon a frail young woman, as lost and broken as yourself. Starving and hollow-eyed, she clings to survival by a thread. With no allies or answers, you resolve to guide her through this bleak purgatory, uncovering fragments of your past while confronting the shadows that hunger to consume you both.
