INTERFACE

Henryk and Mischief head east in search of Henryk's lost granddaughter.

Dreamland was an ambitious amusement park at Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City from 1904 to 1911.

Henryk and Mischief continue on the road to revisit Henryk's old house in search of his great granddaughter.

Mischief and Henryk begin their search for the long lost great granddaughter by returning to Henryk's old home in search for clues. Upon entering, the overwhelming memories haunt Henryk, the same thoughts he tried to escape from.

Mischief reflects on his own past and speaks in metaphorical allegory, which prompts Henryk to consider his painful memories in a new light.

KAMI is not dead, but was being rebuilt. It has learned new tricks from those it had taken from.

Mischief and Henryk approach the lighthouse in search for clues on the whereabouts of Henryk's great granddaughter. Mischief may not be telling the whole story about his past and what he witnessed.

We see what it was that put Henryk over the edge and Mischief's true motivations become a bit more clear. Is he as harmless as he seems? Is Greetings Robotics doing the world a favor?

Mr. Greetings is interviewed on television, and describes the Philadelphia Experiment in 1943 that he witnessed that motivated him to start his company.

Henryk and Mischief investigate the lighthouse, and discover that it has been re-purposed. Is it a trap? Greetings Robotics has been alerted of their presence.

Within the simulation generated by the brain of the mechanical saccorhytus, Mr. Greetings speaks with Henryk about his past and his role in the future. He gives Henryk a choice, to join him and betray Mischief - or not.

Will Henryk let go, or will he give in?

Henryk wanders a desolate landscape and encounters Mischief for the first time. Mischief introduces himself as a companion and begins a cryptic dialogue about "our ship" and the nature of their reality.

The duo travels to a quiet, unsettling version of Montreal. The episode highlights the "lo-fi" aesthetic of the city and further develops the eerie, silent atmosphere that defines the series' early chapters.

This episode introduces the corporate side of the apocalypse, focusing on Mr. Greetings and the creation of KAMI. It establishes that "Cerebral Electricity" is being harvested and weaponized by humanity.

A mysterious, skeletal entity known as The Ghost is introduced. It is revealed to be a protective force, watching over a young girl (Henryk's descendant) and serving as a spectral counterpart to the living characters.

Borrowing imagery from René Magritte, this episode delves into Henryk's past and his connection to the Philadelphia Experiment. It uses surreal visual metaphors to explain how his identity was fractured in 1943.

KAMI’s role as a "man-made god" becomes clearer as it actively hunts and absorbs spiritual entities. The episode emphasizes the growing threat Greetings Robotics poses to the natural (and supernatural) world.

A massive, baby-faced airship is revealed as the mobile headquarters for Greetings Robotics. The episode explores the disturbing biological-mechanical hybrid technology used to store harvested spirits.

The narrative shifts to the surveillance state established by Mr. Greetings. It shows how the Interface allows for a totalizing view of all timelines, making it impossible for the spirits to truly hide.

Mischief demonstrates his shapeshifting abilities in more detail, transforming to help Henryk avoid detection. The episode questions whether Mischief is a true friend or merely using Henryk for his own agenda.

The series tackles the non-linear nature of the Interface, showing scenes from the past and future overlapping. Henryk begins to realize that his search for his great-granddaughter is tied to these "glitches" in time.

Key plot points converge as Henryk finally understands the scale of the "Interface" experiment. The true nature of the barrier between the tangible world and the spirit world is explained through a haunting monologue.

The finale of Part I shows the "birth" of a more advanced form of KAMI and the airship's transition into a more aggressive state. It ends on a cliffhanger that sets the stage for the journey into "Dreamland."
