A pair of assistants wheel out a metal table, upon which a writhing, screaming number seven has been strapped. Its eyes roll around in its head; its many limbs pull fervently at leather restraints. "Who would like to cut it open?"

Your nights are haunted by monstrous mathematics, and the Transcendent Numericist is to blame. Her thoughts leak into the landscape; a search for proofs to her old theorems has transformed her dreams into a geography of abstract calculation. If you're ever to sleep soundly again, you'll need to help her across the Numeric Wilds so that she can, at last, record the shape of infinity. And whatever you do, don't let seven catch you.
