    Synopsis

    Sitting on a park bench in a strange town called Blackrock, Emily has no recollection of who she is and why she’s there. This little town is so odd. There is only one tree, and everything has been painted beige. Realizing that she must have amnesia for some inexplicable reason, Emily begins a journey to regain her identity. However, she quickly realizes that there’s more to this situation than first meets the eye, even though she can’t seem to quite put her finger on exactly why. Now, she must try to regain her memory and discern why this town is so odd because it must have something to do with why she’s there in the first place. She relays the whole story through a personal diary, complete with Polaroid’s, illustrations, lists, and descriptions of all the events that take place.
