The Fracture in Expedition 33 occurred 67 years ago. It was a cataclysmic event when the Paintress, a mysterious deity, first appeared and painted the number 100 on a colossal monolith. This event caused the city of Lumière to be thrown into the sea and isolated from the rest of the world. Since then, each year the Paintress awakens to paint a new number on the monolith, decreasing by one each year, effectively cursing and causing the death of residents whose age corresponds to the painted number during an event known as the Gommage. The expeditions named after the numbers on the monolith have been sent out annually to confront the Paintress, starting from Expedition Zero up to Expedition 33 during the game's story. All previous expeditions vanished without a trace, making this a deadly and mysterious struggle for survival and answers for the people of Lumière.
