In "Umbral," you step into the shoes of Mateus, a young adult frustrated with life who, after facing various personal problems, decides to commit suicide.

Mateus faces various horrific situations in a frightening and hostile place, quickly realizing that there are even more cruelties there than in the world he left behind.
