Plot
Felix is a jobless anthropomorphic fox living with his roommate Kilroy, a red panda. Felix is shy and withdrawn, it's implied he spends a lot of time in his room playing video games. On his 20th birthday, using money his father gifted him Felix buys himself a mysterious new game. Not long after booting it up for the first time, a satellite appears above the town and Felix is able to connect with it using the game console.

Upon arrival, Felix is declared the new king and must absorb the other former kings while picking up Signals that grant him new abilities.
