Chapter 1 – Lonely Door
The game begins in the Red Outworld, where ENA finds a blue bed that sends her to the Hub. There, she encounters Froggy, her employer, who tells her she must find the Boss. [b] Smoke fills the Hub, Froggy allergically reacts, and ENA is tasked with clearing it. [13] She finds the Receptionist, who says the way to clear the smoke is by finding a Genie. After the conversation, ENA enters the Lonely Door and arrives at the Uncanny Streets. [11] She encounters the Shaman, who says the Genie is on a floating island. To get there, she must create a Humanboard, which requires access to the Northern Gorge beyond a bridge. ENA meets Hoarder Alex, who tasks her with blocking the vision of a man overlooking him, likely planning to steal his items. [11]
After blocking the man's vision, ENA crosses the bridge, finds a witch and after reuniting her with her sisters, [14] receives the Motherboard and brings it to the Shaman, who turns it into the Humanboard, which is used to reach the Floating Island. [10] Upon reaching the island, ENA enters a portal and is sent to the Orb, where she is eaten by a gray head, sending her to the Core. She crosses a river and enters the Bathroom to find Theodora, the Genie of the Lonely Door, who grants her an aspiration. She chooses the aspiration of removing the smoke, [c] accesses the Smoke Room, and destroys the Smoke Machine. After leaving the room, she enters the Outworld, an abstracted Uncanny Streets. She finds the Lonely Door and tries exiting, but it is closed. She is then covered with crystal-like growths, after which a mannequin emerges from her body and is pulled into an abyss by a giant hand. A mannequin in the Hub turns into ENA, resurrecting her. [13]
Alternate routes
ENA can instead go to the Purge Event, which Froggy describes as a "dangerous and illegal party". [12] To access the Purge Event, she finds the head of the Taxi Driver by solving a maze. She then enters the nearby taxi, which the Taxi Driver picks up and places in a new part of the Uncanny Streets, where the Purge Event can be found. [15] At the Purge Event, after talking with one of the special characters who serve as a trigger, she is transported into a labyrinth, where she is transformed into a whistle-like creature. [12] After finishing the labyrinth, ENA enters the Core, where the further events are the same.
If ENA falls into the white river in the Core, she is taken to the Lost Village. The village consists of a group of buildings, where she finds and enters the right building, which takes her to a long corridor leading to a broken body of Theodora, who is said to be "the former Genie of these lands". After talking to the Theodora, ENA is taken to the Smoke Room and the path to the ending will be the same as other routes.
