About the Game




After years of balance and symbiosis, Mirlo’s home is attacked and laid to waste by the Solarean civilization, a totalitarian regime that is expanding and slaughtering anything in its way. Solareans found a source of energy in the forest Beasts; they would lock them up in energy extracting machines and exploit them. Mirlo wants her home back, and she must return the forest to its essence and protection, she must free all Beasts.

Join Mirlo to save her home and her forest friends in a hack & slash adventure. Use Mirlo’s attack to push and defeat enemies, jump to avoid hazards, and save all the Beasts.
