The story follows a boy in a red shirt on his quest to please Gorogoa, the massive, colorful dragon. We help him on his journey to collect the five fruits to present to Gorogoa, and see some other male characters at various life stages and in different contexts throughout the story, weaving in and out of view.

After collecting the five fruits, the boy presents them to Gorogoa, who rejects his offering and casts him out of the tower, leaving him crushed physically and spiritually.

It's revealed that the characters along the way were all the same character.

After his fall, he is wheelchair-bound for some time (hospital gown).

He is then able to move to crutches, but finds himself in the midst of a war (ripped, gray clothes).

He studies mythology about a creature who is half horse, half three-tailed fish in hopes of finding a connection to Gorogoa, which is ultimately fruitless. The war ends and rebuilding begins.

The boy, now a teen (white, collared shirt) goes on a pilgrimage, seeking penance for his misdeed.

As an adult (green shirt), he stares out the window on the anniversary that he first saw Gorogoa, the memory of his fall haunting him, and concludes that his pilgrimage was also fruitless.

As an old man (white shirt, brown vest), still with a bad leg, he reviews his journey and his findings. He dons a brown coat and a red scarf and he again takes the train to the tower, climbs it, and prepares his offering. He reviews his life and how he sought the goal of reconciliation at every point.

This time, Gorogoa is satisfied, and the man ascends.

I hope to share more of what I found. There is so much attention detail in this game. Depths that can only be discovered by many playthroughs. I hope you are able to discover some of it for yourself!
