You've got a lot of work ahead of you if you feel like staying alive for good, but there will be some moments in your journey where you'll inevitably question whether it's really worth all the effort. Every successful brush with death you survive only knocks the next attempt at your life back a bit. Unfortunately for you, saving yourself once just isn't enough, since the dark forces at work are particularly persistent.

Lying on the ground and slowly bleeding to death, you're suddenly transported away to an alternate plane of existence, given a teleportation device by a weird entity, and sent on your merry way to try to stop your own murder. As the androgynous protagonist Eike, you walk out of a coffee shop, stroll down the street, and wind up brutally stabbed in the back by an unseen stalker.
