Barrens

The only reason why the mind can tell dream from waking reality is that the reality has more causal consistency in its chain of events. But what if even that shaky criterion of consistency is removed, and the only thing remaining is the rippled divide between the two? There isn’t really any solid proof that the waking reality has in any way more physical presence than the web of a dream. After all, the only thing that ultimately does exist, is information. What if there is a bigger, hidden context, containing and defining both reality and dream as expressions of one elusive but tangible principle? And what if there is a place, a world where the veil obscuring this domain is thinner?Into this world the hero steps, a scientist, following the elusive trail of a deadly, immortal beast with the ability to manipulate perceptual reality. To truly become a hero, he requires one very specific thing – a monster. The only difference is that in this case, the monster is real. This barren, rainy world harbors a deep transcendent mystery, which will change the hero’s life forever.
