Mimesis Online from Polish Developer Tannhauser Gate, is a role-playing game which transports you to a world where the borders between reality and illusion do not exist. An unimaginable catastrophe on a cosmic scale transformed this world, playing havoc with the natural order of things, twisting everything, even time itself, wiping out civilisation as we know it. For the Universe itself, everything changed and nothing changed - a new order was established, one where entropy rules, without intelligent beings working to hold it back. The beings who survived the catastrophe have tried to rebuild their world, each in their own way. They once again want to enforce on the natural chaos their order, their ways - authority, money, prejudice, cruelty and conviction of their own superiority. Once again, they are showing the unlimited ability of intelligent races to adapt and survive. The forgotten civilisation is waking up and slowly but surely emerging as the "new" civilisation - and how similar it is to the old one.

This is a transcript of the observations of a Sentinel Dehas Core, a group of immobile Sentinels whose responsibility is to monitor everything occurring in their territory - Greyspire. They are following the movements of a former smuggler who is suspected of having had something to do with the closure of the access fields, Greyspire's only practical link with the rest of the world...

	From the journal of Heylan of the fifth house: The evening has drawn in, and the air is cold. Sharp, as my colleague Tel Jackson would have said. He has passed to the next world now, and his memory has been left lying on the surface of the waters. As befits one like him, of noble soul, his memory is honoured. I shall miss his easy changes of mood, so unlike ours - the way he could calm down as easily as my temper is lost. Now I return, to the place where he was lost, and again wonder why I could not feel that something was wrong with the access field, and how he knew to push me forward and save my life...
