Summarise A Game's Story So Far Before Its Sequel

The sequel is finally out and you finished the first game three years ago, remembering the ending as a vague vibe rather than actual detail. This pulls together a plot refresher organised by thread, covering what matters for a sequel, so you start the new game understanding the references rather than nodding blankly.

Summarise the plot of {GAME_NAME} for someone who finished it a long time ago and is about to start the sequel. Base this on the following notes or synopsis. Cover: the main character's arc and where it ended, key relationships and their final state, and any major twist or choice that could affect a sequel. Keep it under 250 words, organise by plot thread, and avoid spoiling anything about the sequel itself. Source notes: [paste a synopsis or your own recollection here].
