Athena, an employee at an artificial intelligence technology company whose mind has been uploaded to a network of simulated fictional video games, primarily first-person shooters.

Some time after their uploading, the company shifted its focus to military application, and is now secretly using these games as training grounds to that end.

The player helps Heather's former colleagues to fight against a villainous force known as the Integrity, which is destroying game worlds[2] in order to locate and extract their consciousnesses for later use.

The game plays in a similar manner to a 1990s first-person shooter, prioritizing constant movement and dodging rather than the use of a cover system.

He called the game's shooting mechanics "bland", criticizing slow character control despite the "blindingly fast" movement and weak-feeling guns.
