Centuries later, he awakens to find that during his slumber, he has inherited vast global wealth and become the de facto ruler of the world. The world he sees is cold, mechanized, and foreign, ruled by an elite few while the masses march in silence. As Graham adjusts, he slowly uncovers the political manipulations around him, realizing that a man named Ostrog and others plan to use him as a symbolic puppet. Wandering through silent chambers and colossal corridors, he begins to confront both his role in the new order and the eerie stillness of this futuristic society.
