One: True Stories

Based on a game by Nexton. A normal student finds his ordinary life in the winter of 1998 gradually overtaken by another world forming within him. This new reality layers over his daily existence much like snow covering the ground. He comes to realize that certain elements of his routine have remained constant, including familiar scenes and the warmth of a particular person. He had not previously recognized his love for this individual. These persistent elements have functioned as anchors, existing to bind him to this world and prevent him from leaving. The narrative follows the moment he begins, for the first time, to search for both these bonds and for that significant person. As time progresses, the season changes and sunlight begins to return. He is left to wonder about his future destination and about who will ultimately be holding his hand.
