Lore notes

In the heart of an ever-expanding metropolis lies the Threshold Corporation, a sprawling labyrinth that serves as both office and second home to its employees. This complex is rumored to have been constructed over sacred ley lines, giving it an uncanny ability to warp time and perception. Employees are encouraged to 'explore their potential,' a euphemism for a mysterious program that unlocks alternate realities, supposedly for innovation. However, whispers of hidden agendas and lost individuals echo through the halls. Only those who can navigate their own psyche can hope to unravel the complex weave of dreams and reality that binds the labyrinth together.
