The storyline for it isn't completely fleshed out, but there are abilities and some interesting things that can happen with it so far. It's primarily a teaser for a full new playstyle that is slated for a future version. :)
If you're interested in coding, writing story or dialogue, or anything else you are more than welcome to join in. This is definitely a group project at this point and there's always room to play to whatever strengths you'd like!
