One Game Mode: We’ve merged the original Story and Explore modes into a single, seamless experience. Just boot up the game and dive right into the adventure—no unnecessary choices needed. 

The wisdom that we get from the “already told” stories makes us deeply feel that we cannot hide from the inevitable (*).
