"Humans have disappeared and their Pokémon have been left behind, trying to make the remains of the old civilization into one that they can live in and sustain by themselves. Throughout this process, these Pokémon talk about how much they miss their human partners, and the information we can glean from the notes and letters we find lying around is that a climate crisis forced them to evacuate the planet and leave the Pokémon in a massive PC server for their safety."
"The Pokémon you play as in is a Ditto, which has the ability to transform into anyone or anything, and it takes on the form of its trainer throughout the game. The best art depicts Ditto struggling with the grief of losing its partner, wearing their form as a way to remember them, and even envisioning a potential reunion between them."
