Unravel a Dark History
During the era of Dark Alchemists that once inhabited the ruins of Gloamspire Keep, a group of alchemists, filled with hubris and blinded by their own lust for power, sought to create a powerful being that would protect their walls and instill fear in their enemies both near and far.
Survive a Cursed Creation
However, the day of its creation would also be the day of their damnation. Born of their efforts was a powerful being indeed, but with it was born an eternal curse as the being turned against the alchemists.
Master the Light
With no recollection as to how or why, you find yourself in the ruined corridors of Gloamspire Keep, centuries later, standing in front of a mysterious glowing orb, a scepter in hand, and no clear direction forward. Find out your role in the story of the Lightkeeper’s Curse as you navigate the ruins of Gloamspire Keep, armed only with light as you solve a series of puzzles under the pressure of looming shadow and darkness that threaten to consume you.
