About the Game

❖ Game Description (English) ❖

A fantasy game set in an alternate history of Joseon Korea.

In the depths of desperate prayers, a new deity—the God of Lamentation—was born.
But the god turned traitor, plunging Joseon into chaos.

As the divine turmoil reached a point beyond salvation, the gods intervened,
shifting Joseon into a different timeline—
a world that now stands in resistance against the God of Lamentation.

Joseon is already being devoured by corruption...

Stand with Joseon.
Defy the God of Lamentation and the arcane forces that threaten the nation!

■■■ Key Features ■■■

▶ Shape-Shifting with "Tal" (Traditional Korean Masks)

Transform your appearance and combat style by changing your Tal.
Each mask grants different forms, allowing for faster movement or wider attacks.

▶ Combat with Visual "Themes"

Engage in battles enriched with traditional Korean aesthetics.
Strike with black and white ink-like effects, painting your path to victory.

▶ Easy but Strategic "Overpaint" Mechanic

Against powerful foes and hordes of enemies,
paint them in black or white, then stack "Overpaint"
to unleash devastating Execution finishers!
