Baroque

Baroque's story takes place following a world-altering cataclysm called the Blaze that took place on May 14, 2032. The world, now existing in a twisted state, is populated by Meta-Beings, creatures that were once human but that have lost their hearts and minds to the Baroques inside them. The player's goal is to reach the bottom of the Neuro Tower, the former home of the Order of Malkuth, a religious organization seeking to save God. At the beginning of the game, the protagonist is told that by purifying the Meta-Beings within the tower and reaching the bottom floor, he will find redemption for sins committed that he cannot remember.

As the story develops it is learned that the Archangel removed noradrenaline ("pain") from the Absolute God and poured corrupted data into the Consciousness Orbs to keep the Absolute God from fixing the distortion growing inside of itself. He then harvested the Absolute God's pain as the Littles. Littles, the embodiment of pain, are creatures that can only live inside "ampules" and were cultivated by Doctor Angelicus and Longneck. Their purpose was to be used as bullets for the Angelic Rifle, so that the Archangel can purify the Absolute God and take its Idea Sephirath to become the new Absolute God.

The Koriel, a group of False Angels within the Malkuth Order, tried to stop the Archangel by attempting the Dabar fusion (fusing a human with the Absolute God to "hear god's will"). The protagonist had a conjoined twin brother and they shared one heart. Only one of them could function at a time and both were dying. They sacrificed the older brother and picked the protagonist for the fusion. When the Archangel learned about the Koriel's plans, he interrupted the fusion and caused the Blaze.

The Absolute God created multiple divinities (Alice and Eliza) to fill the gap left by the protagonist. It gained the protagonist's ability to speak, while the protagonist gained its power to purify. The consciousness of protagonist's deceased older brother got absorbed by the Consciousness Orbs and fused with him during the Dabar. The protagonist gets chosen by the Archangel for the Sisyphean task of heading to the bottom of the Neuro Tower to purify the Absolute God, because he is the only person with the power of purification.

In the end, the protagonist fuses with the Absolute God along with Alice, Eliza and the Littles. The world is still distorted and purification of the world is impossible, but they decide to form a consensus reality by merging with the Baroques of the Meta-Beings.
