How it begins
The game begins by asking if you'd like to restore a game, then if you'd like verbose mode turned on.
You are George, waking up in someone else's bed and wearing someone else's clothes (an open vest and light trousers). A forest outside the window indicates you're nowhere near your home. But how did you get here? You just have vague memories of drinking too much, a woman, and a beach.
A handwritten note on the nightstand directs you to meet someone at a plateau. It also helps you remember a bit more. You met a beautiful woman at a party who gave you something unusual to drink and asked for your help. Agreeing, she drove you to a beach (the trip itself is unclear), then she led you to this bedroom where you fell asleep. The next morning, she gave you your current clothing. And you remember stepping out onto the hot beach sands. But nothing further.
