You play as a man who, [[ExcusePlot for an unknown reason]], is [[TrappedInAnotherWorld stranded on a floating grey platform in the middle of a featureless black void]]. An unseen '[[TheVoice Voice]]' demands that you take part in an arduous mental and physical trial known as 'Kurushi'.
[[SinisterGeometry Giant cubes stomp]] from the far end of the Stage toward you. You must use your 'mark' to trigger the destruction of each cube, one by one, before they roll off the edge of the Stage, and before they crush you. Succeed, and you'll open your mind to possibilities you never thought possible. Fail, and the universe will never be created. [[WildMassGuessing Perhaps.]]

A large playing field affords the player more time to think as the cubes come rolling down; conversely, one that is too short may not even allow the player enough space to execute all of the moves required for a PERFECT. As you make mistakes, rows of the playing field start falling off, and thus you are prone to making even more mistakes. This spiral continues until you don't even have enough space for the next set of blocks to appear, which will result in being thrown off the stage to your death.
