Nothing is what this place says it is.
As a young stranger to a vast world, an oblivious boy is tasked with a means of survival, unbeknownst to the dangers a false utopia-like his own city-may have. Every day is yet another lesson to what or who this boy truly is, as long as his coming of age and path in life. An ambiguous universe awaits his exploration, and it would take more than a hike to explore what "Arcadius" is.
