Programmer Adrian enters the Oracle beta test expecting a horror experience, but an unauthorized Romance Patch rewrites the game's core mechanics, replacing combat with empathy as the only way to survive. He must soothe terrifying entities including Lace, Subject Zero, and Jocelyn through emotional connection rather than violence. Investigation reveals these creatures are actually the preserved consciousnesses of patients declared brain-dead by Dawn Hospital, imprisoned through illegal experimentation. The conspiracy's architect is Professor Luthor, Adrian's own trusted mentor. Without weapons, Adrian relies on compassion to navigate the Gate of God and dismantle the system holding these souls captive.
