The Ones Left Behind

A fragment of a destroyed ship crashes on a mysterious world that is seemingly seen in only black and white. The passengers manage to survive the crash though, but these passengers are different. With no memory of who they are and their pasts, they venture out together into this unknown world. As they continue to journey and forge bonds, the colors of this world soon begin to show themselves...and so does the truth.
