A voice calls your name, pulling you from an eternity of slumber. Y/n, a puppet unlike any other-crafted with extraordinary detail and lifelike presence by the renowned puppet maker, Giuseppe Geppetto. Yet, you are not his only masterpiece. Pino, his greatest creation, was shaped in the image of his late son, Carlos. When fate intertwines your paths, you and Pino become reluctant partners, forced to fight against puppets driven into a violent frenzy and humans with sinister motives. In a world where artificial beings are bound by the Grand Covenant, an unbreakable set of laws, one question lingers in the air: . . . . What happens when a puppet dares to defy its fate? . . . A feeling of warmth spread to your chest as your eyes met his. For a moment, the world around you-the dim glow of flickering street lamps, the distant hum of malfunctioning machinery, the eerie silence of a city once vibrant-faded into nothingness. Pino's eyes, reflecting the soft light, held an emotion you couldn't quite place. Was it recognition? Relief? Or something deeper, something neither of you fully understood? His fingers twitched, a subtle motion as if reaching out, hesitating, then retreating. The cool night air wrapped around you both, but the warmth in your chest only grew stronger. Was this... comfort? A connection beyond gears and strings? Then, the moment shattered. A distant metallic clang echoed through the empty streets, a reminder that danger was never far. The warmth remained, lingering, but reality demanded movement. "Come on," Pino said, his voice steady yet gentle. "We have to keep going." You nodded, but the feeling in your chest didn't fade. Instead, it burned softly, like an ember waiting to ignite. I do not own the artworks, it belongs to its creator same with the game developer Neowiz Games and its publisher Round8 Studio.
