As Kay, the player explores a seemingly empty flooded city and interacts with its scaly red-eyed creatures to reveal why Kay turned into a monster. Kay's emotions manifest into giant monsters standing in her way, trying to help but also destroy her. Kay needs to interact with and understand their underlying intentions in order to overcome the negative effects of those emotions.
