The main viewpoint protagonist so far is Winter Harrison, a young girl raised in a utopian near-future society who is training to become a "mediator". Mediators in Winter's world are agents tasked with maintaining order in societies on other "planes" ([[TheMultiverse parallel universes]]). The first episode follows Winter on her second outing, shadowing hard-bitten mediator Cyrus.

Cyrus Addington.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: Near the end of Episode 0, Winter and Margaret (a Mediator and one of her teachers) [[spoiler:discuss about euthanasia and the complex morals that surround it. This foretells how Winter and Cyrus get an entire planet annihilated despite their actions in Episode 1. Episode 0's epilogue even emphasizes this by showing Margaret killing a person [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness after extracting valuable information from him]].]]



* MultipleEndings: The variety of options you have in the second half of the game lead to [[spoiler:two of these: Winter can either let Cyrus kill President Barnaby or persuade Cyrus to talk Barnaby out of bombing Gabrea instead. Significantly, whichever you choose, the planet is still destroyed by the bomb.]]
