The story surrounding NieR Re[in]carnation revolves around a girl who awakens on a cold stone floor. She finds herself in an infinitely vast place filled with buildings that touch the very sky. Guided by a mysterious creature who calls herself Mama, she begins to explore her new surroundings. To reclaim what she has lost- and atone for her sins- she sets off on a journey through this place of unknown creation… a place known as The Cage.
