From the introduction: This story is separated into two time-lines, one that is set in 1985 and another in 2045. The frame, the timeline you will actually be playing in, is 2045. However the story you primarily will be exploring is set in 1985 and forward, where you will follow the life of Josie, a young prawn trying to survive the harsh life in District 9. Josie will be defined as a character throughout the narration of the game, and her story is yet to be discovered by the players.
