The world that we once knew ceased to be a long time ago. All life that had previously dominated within this plane disappeared without a trace. The wasteland stretched far and wide, those whom had survived knew nothing of the cause, and they only sought to rebuild the society that once was. With time, the once void wasteland flourished with new life, those who had built the new worlds took control as primary caretakers, dubbed Guardians by the woman whom they crowned as their Queen.

The Queen took lead in developing the new world by introducing new elements the Guardians could use: the 4 primary elements being Metal, Smoke, Plastic, and Meat. All seemed well, but something happened to the Guardians.. They have changed... 

Dedan took his guardianship to the extremes, valuing time and resources more than the livelihoods of his workers. Japhet's existence was completely forgotten by his own children, so much that he resorted to hiding within the interior of another living being just to be loved again. And Enoch... Behind a facade created an Eden of his own. Introducing a new element, birthed from addiction and death, to be rewarded to his hard working denizens. As for the Queen, in an instant, she disappears within the walls of her own Room, with the intent of figuring out a permanent solution that will benefit the world they built.

The world was slowly falling to ash; until one day, a man wielding nothing but a baseball bat came along. With the aid of an old, wise cat, the man made his way  with the purpose of purifying the world of filth and corruption. Or so the wise cat thought. Blind faith was put into the man, only for him to eradicate the whole world, the Guardians, the Queen and her son. The wise cat approached the man for the final time, pinning the blame not unto the man, but the being behind the strings.  In the final stand, the man emerged victorious, reached out to the switch... and shut it off. 

Time would pass, the old Guardians emerged from their graves through some miracle, whatever miracle affected them, did not affect the woman, nor her child. Instead they discovered new elements that could aid them in rebuilding what once was. All they can do is pray that mistakes will never be made.

Alas to say that I am the one who caused grief to the world. I led the man into his own demise, fooled into thinking that his intentions were pure. My final wish is redemption, in hopes that I can cure the mistake I have committed upon. I must bend the norm in order to complete my path and choose the puppet  that I know will aid me in this sacred quest.

Yes... you will be the one.

Welcome to the second rebuild of the World, where the Guardians, after receiving a second chance in life; took it upon themselves to rebuild a World that was destroyed by the Batter.  Plant life was slowly introduced into the World through the new elements that came from the Queen's flesh.  People finally knew peace.. or so they thought..  

The Puppeteer makes a grand return in search of a Puppet that will aid them in their quest, a Puppet found in Zone 3's cafeteria, in the form of a young boy named Max, the Cook of the designated Zone, whose job is to deliver food to the Guardians. As you tag with the boy, you will learn that things are not the same as it used to be.

Developer's notes:

It would be required that you play the original game before playing this game in order to understand the lore better.

The game takes place 7 years after the events of OFF, you play as Max, the Cook of Zone 3, who goes on a journey to deliver food to the Guardians. You will meet faces, old and new, you will lose faces, old and new, while discovering the truth behind your existence.

There are two versions of this game, the old one (Ultimatum), and the remade version which of course, is a demo, but long enough to play it. There are some extras added in the game that might spruce up the experience a little. 

-Colored system boxes
Just one click and you will get a different colored system box. There are over 10 colors to choose from, and there will be more in the future!!!

-Side quests
Self-explanatory, there are some optional quests you can do in exchange for experience points and items.

-Anxiety time
Don't like time based events? Or struggle with those? Fear no more, for this game gives you an option to extend time for up to 45 minutes! (note: does not count for time based events under 5 minutes!!)
