There is little to no plot. Just exploring a mad scientist's subconscious. Drake's reasons for exploring it may range from pure curiosity to self-experimentation to just for fun. There are very few people in his world.
In the real world, Drake can take the left-hand stairs go into a small hallway with an elevator that doesn't seem to work, and a smaller computer. From there, he can head onto his balcony. When you try to go onto the right stairs, he will say "No." or make a noise that indicates he does not want to leave.
