Hope is in 23

Hope is in 23 is a single-player game set 12 years after a rift opened a doorway to another dimension and brought monsters into the world. The creatures attacked people, and some could burn humans and turn them into slaves. A mysterious group from the newly connected dimension gave 23 people powers to fight back, but the 23 were eventually overrun. The reason the group sympathized with humanity, and why it chose only 23 people, remains unknown.
