Plot

The player is set to explore a world set on perfect proportions and anatomy.[2] During progression the player learns the history behind the world they are exploring and the reason why they are addressed by its inhabitants as "the chiseled one."[3] The player is formed by Breath, which drains in the process of creating a form, causing many of the shapes (Heads, hands etc...) scattered in the world to be incomplete.

The director Yarden Weissbrot, stated he wanted to create "something Israeli gamers could be proud of".[5]
