BLACK SOULS

Long, long ago, there existed a kingdom shrouded in dense mist: the Lost Empire. This mist twisted humans into terrifying beasts, plunging the world into despair. War raged endlessly. Heroes rose, seeking fame and glory. It is in this place you awaken—a nameless undead.

About the Game

Long, long ago, there existed a kingdom shrouded in dense mist: the Lost Empire.

This mist twisted humans into terrifying beasts, plunging the world into despair.

War raged endlessly.
Heroes rose, seeking fame and glory.
Courtesans dreamt of royal ballroom dances.
Treasures lay hidden within secret gardens.

All gathered here, only to vanish into obscurity.

It is in this place you awaken—
a nameless undead.

As the protagonist of this grim tale, what will you witness, and what will you gain?

May you avoid meeting the darkest of ends…

  • Highly open-ended exploration in an open world.

  • Selectable player class.

  • Symbol Encounter system.

  • Tense Active-Time Battle (ATB) system.

  • 21 heroines based on famous fairy tales (Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.).

  • Multiple endings.

  • Death does not result in a Game Over.
