6 itemsAbout the Game
Our story takes place in the land of Muur, a once proud and accomplished civilization that was invaded by the Corvus Empire. Now, many generations later, the descendants of the survivors eke out a meager existence on the outskirts of the ruins of their once-great capital.
You play as Gerel, an inhabitant of the land of Muur. Left to raise your children alone after your husband was killed at the hands of the Corvus guards in a failed attempt at raiding your homestead. One day after foraging for food, you return home to find that your children are missing.
On your journey to find them you'll traverse the world using movement mechanics and unlock new areas by completing quests and solving puzzles. You’ll fight enemies using melee combat and energy abilities granted to you by Muurian artifacts that you'll find scattered and hidden around Muur.
You'll explore the land of Muur, meet its inhabitants, brave its dangers and fight against the Corvus Empire.
