{{quote|''"The oldest legends of Undabed recount that one day a great and terrifying black wave washed over the world and nothing and no one could resist it. A tower rose up out of this enormous tidal wave. The survivors of the catastrophe stopped and observed the tower for a moment. And they knew that this tower would bring them nothing but misfortune and suffering. The Master of the tower sent out his creatures in their thousands... We have found a way into Loren Darith, the Master's tower. Should I fail my mission, someone will take my place..."''|Lenny}}

''[[Evil Twin: Cyprien's Chronicles]]'' is a videogame by In Utero published by [[Ubisoft]] in 2001. The hero of the story is Cyprien, a boy who grew up in an orphanage after both his parents [[Parental Abandonment|died on his birthday.]] Not knowing this, his friends organise a birthday for him one day. Enraged, Cyprien goes to his bedroom, where his teddy bear Lenny attempts to console him. Cyprien responds that Lenny is only an [[Imaginary Friend]], and condemns him and his world to oblivion. Lenny and Cyprien's friends then disappear and Cyprien is transported to Undabed, a once prosperous world that has been swallowed up by an enormous black wave leaving only a few islands, terrorised by the mysterious [[The Master (trope)|Master]], whom now holds Lenny captive...
 
Guided by Wilbur, a talking elephant who travels around on a sling, Cyprien discovers that his make-believe alter ego SuperCyp is real in this world and the islands surviving the black wave are ruled by [[Evil Twin|evil versions]] of his friends from the orphanage.
