A HAND-DRAWN ACTION ADVENTURE THAT PLAYS LIKE A LIVING GRAPHIC NOVEL

Rose's daughter has been taken.

To save her, Rose must descend into the Underwest - a strange frontier beyond death where lost souls wander, ancient powers rule, and the Seven Deadly Sins hold dominion.

Fight your way through a beautifully illustrated underworld, brought to life as a living graphic novel. Uncover powerful new abilities, and challenge the monstrous embodiments of Sin in a journey driven by love, sacrifice, and redemption.

The rulers of the Underwest have stolen countless souls - including your daughter's.
