Cole Black awakens in an abandoned hospital, urged to do so by a face on a television screen that calls itself Red. Strapped around his face, a device called the Pandora. Red informs Black that he must investigate his memories using the Pandora to understand how he came to be face-to-face with a girl in a chair, the bomb strapped to her chest, and the ensuing explosion he was helpless to prevent. But was it a memory, or a dream? And just who is Jasper Prado? The hospital is filled with others; psychologically broken men all sporting the Pandora. But are they real, or a machination of his own mind? There's a shadowy figure they refer to as the Puppet Master, lurking just out of sight. His influence on the hospital is apparent in the numerous "patients" that try to kill Black. Relax and explore. Make no assumptions. Focus on the facts. You only have one choice, Black - Proceed.
