 Central to the game is the aspect of Mental Balance, which is a sanity-gauge of sorts.In the game's cosmology humans can - at least in theory - regain their lost divine status through a game concept called Awakening in which characters with an extremely high (or low, the game never values positive or moral traits higher than negative or immoral ones) mental balance are no longer restrained by the rules of the Illusion.Effectively, they escape the prison and become gods.
