Plate from An Original Theory or New Hypothesis of the Universe by Thomas Wright, 1750. And yet the entire fact of life - your individual life, and mine, and life itself as a feature of the universe - is a matter of probable impossibilities.
The great peril of science - this eternal impulse of human nature - is that the human mind continually limits what is possible, erecting walls of assumption between itself and the reality of nature. The great gift of science is that it continually reveals to us what is real, unpeeling the wallpaper of our knowledge to reveal newer and newer layers of nature, deeper and deeper substrata of reality. In two centuries, his Fifth Symphony would sail past the seventh planet on a golden disc aboard a spacecraft launched into the unknown on the wings of laws discovered by a college student watching an apple fall on his illiterate mother’s orchard during a plague quarantine and a sickly brokenhearted mathematician defending his mother in a witchcraft trial. “What will they think of my music on the star of Urania?” the young Beethoven wondered in his marginalia upon hearing of the discovery of Uranus, daring to imagine the unimaginable. The "Formless" ending has the player encounter the same strange being from the beginning of the game, the Rat Queen.“Everything that is possible is real,” Bach scribbled in the margins of his music three centuries ago, when the existence of other galaxies was unimaginable and hummingbirds were considered magic, when the fact of the atom was yet to trouble the young Emily Dickinson and the fact that it is mutable was yet to splinter the foundation of reality as we understood it. The "Forever" ending has the player end as Lily, a famous actress. The "Flame" ending has the player end as James, a famous actor.

The two struggled frequently to find food and stay out of the guards' sights, which began taking its toll on them. Life on the boat was rough for the children, especially for James, the younger sibling. It is revealed through dialogue and notes that The Actor had previously been on a similar ship as a child, that they (along with their sibling) had snuck onto the vessel to escape from their abusive father. The game then cuts to The Actor waking up and getting out of bed, while The Director berates them, saying that " are a poor excuse." The Actor then gets up, goes upstairs, plays a reel, and leaves through the door they came, beginning their journey. You almost had it." as she pulls his head off. They arrived to see the Rat Queen behind a child actor of James, saying, "Such a shame.
The game begins with the Actor rushing to a stage through the halls of a sinking ship. Players control a Hollywood actor who heeds the call of an enigmatic director to take on the lead role in a film shot aboard an ocean liner.
