5 itemsAbout the Game
Becoming a monster is not a failure — it is part of the journey.
Every door you open demands a sacrifice.
Every choice leaves scars that cannot heal.
Some prices are paid in flesh.
Others, in what makes you human.
The real question is not whether you will lose your humanity,
but whether there will be anything left to return to once the world is saved.
EXPLORE A DYING WORLD
Four biomes. Four guardians. Your choice which to face first.
Navigate precision platforming and environmental puzzles as your options evolve and paths shift.
Face nine bosses.
Uncover a story of dragons, kings, and the terrible cost of keeping secrets.
PROGRESSION IS DEFINED BY LOSS
As the story unfolds, familiar options fade away, trusted paths close, and the world demands adaptation over mastery.
There is no rebuilding what was lost — only learning to move forward without it.

A Tragic Fairy Tale — Uncover a story of family, betrayal, and the irreversible cost of salvation
