**** THE STORY ****
In ARTISAN, Link awakens trapped in a bizarre museum. A mysterious woman named Lisa tells him that, in order to go home, he would have to find and kill seven other people in the museum before they can kill him. If he can't complete this task, he'll be placed on display in the museum forever. The situation only gets more bizarre when he discovers he is able to summon a ghost-like entity called an Artisan, a sentient weapon that he can command at will. The real problem is that the people hunting him can also summon Artisans of their own. Can Link survive this deadly game and figure out a way to escape the museum? Only you can decide his fate.
