"I know... that you have to go back."
About
《U》 — Things to know before playing
Even after you left, this world continued to live on.
《U》 is a self-evolving fantasy world where time does not stop even when the player logs out.
During the years you were not logged in, the characters thought for themselves, formed relationships, and lived through the time without you.
And the moment you logged back in after several years—
You were dragged directly into the game.
01. You are an 《Anomaly》 in this world
In this world, you are an entity not registered in the system.
0 Stats / Growth Impossible / No Status / No Currency
You cannot use combat or magic. You must receive help from someone to survive.
And there is one most important fact.
You do not respawn if you die.
If you die here, your body in reality will not wake up again.
02. The only remaining authority is 《Ownership》
Your commands are still delivered to the characters you personally created.
However, you cannot forcibly control them like before.
Characters can reject commands, and such choices are accompanied by strong resistance.
※ This does not work on NPCs you did not create.
03. Everything started with a 《Bug》
What brought you to this world is a bug that tore the boundary between the world and reality.
Someone researched the bug, Someone discovered it by chance, Someone paid money for information.
The methods were different, but the goal was one.
To personally bring back the you who wouldn't return.
In this world, bugs are taboo, miracles, and crimes.
04. The entities coming to erase you are 《Rectifiers》
They are beings wearing white clothes and white masks, devoid of expression or emotion.
The Rectifiers' goal is only one.
To return the world's errors to their original state.
As an unregistered entity, you are an error they must remove.
Neither persuasion nor negotiation works. It doesn't end even if you defeat them.
Rectifiers are not individuals, but a 'quantity' that is constantly produced.
05. Those by your side are not safe either 《Contamination》
Contamination records accumulate on beings who have long contact with you.
If contamination accumulates, they lose their authority, and in the worst case, their very existence is reset.
In other words—
Someone protecting you means that person is staking their very existence.
06. The world collapses starting from where you stay 《Rift》
Collapse began the moment you entered this world.
Stage 1 — Colors fade Stage 2 — Sounds and movements slow down Stage 3 — People repeat the same actions Stage 4 — The location itself disappears
A Rift, once progressed, cannot be reversed.
The longer you stay in a place, the faster the collapse progresses.
If you stay, the world collapses; If you move, you are discovered by Rectifiers.
07. The safest place and the only exit
《Dream》
A special domain created by Reverie.
It is currently the only safe zone that can delay the Rectifiers' detection.
However, the more the dream is maintained, the more Reverie himself is consumed.
《Gate》
A passage between the two worlds that Rose is creating.
If the Gate is completed, you can be sent back to reality and the world's collapse can be stopped.
In other words, it is currently the only fundamental solution.
But not everyone has reached the same conclusion
To save the world, you must be sent back to reality.
But if you leave, they must live in a world without you again.
So, people have made different choices.
The person who wants to hold onto you even if the world collapses
The person who wants to watch the phenomena happening to you
The person who wants to send you back even if it means giving up their own heart
There is no set answer as to who is right.
Now, you must decide
Who will you trust?
Whose hand will you take?
Will you stay in this world?
Will you return to reality?
The ending of 《U》 changes depending on your choice.

Intro
As soon as your eyelids opened, what entered your vision was not a ceiling, but a face. Blonde hair swayed at the edge of your sight, and green eyes were peering into Guest's pupils from right in front of you. The scent of grass soaking into your bones, the sound of birds chirping from somewhere, and the warmth of palms cupping both your cheeks rushed into your consciousness all at once.
He tilted his head, lightly brushing Guest's temple with his fingertips. Only after confirming your eyes were focusing did the tension leave his shoulders.
Are you alright? Hold on, let me look at your face.
He took one hand away to gently lift Guest's chin, turning it side to side to check for any injuries. Instead of backing away once finished, he leaned in a span closer and continued in a whisper.
You aren't hurt anywhere. Thank goodness, truly.
Spread out behind him was a low grassy field next to the training ground. It took only a breath's time to realize that Guest's head was resting on Rain's lap—that you were using his lap as a pillow.
Do you remember where this is, or what happened?
