About the Game

When the world collapsed, he was just an ordinary farmer, armed only with a scythe and the love for his family. But on that day, when darkness became reality and monsters rose from the earth, everything changed. His attempt to protect his loved ones turned into tragedy — his blade, once meant for labor, pierced his wife’s heart, and his daughter was dragged away by the creatures.

Despair became a flame that could not be extinguished. The soul of his lost wife merged with the scythe, turning it into a living, dark weapon that feeds on pain and thirst for vengeance. Cracks appeared across the blade, pulsing with the light of her departed soul — her whisper now guides the hero through hell.

The player must walk a path of redemption and vengeance: fighting hordes of twisted creatures, exploring the fallen world, uncovering the secrets of the catastrophe, and searching for a way to save his daughter. Every kill, every choice, every drop of blood — a step toward truth, or toward madness.

The world of the game is shrouded in a heavy, oppressive atmosphere — half-ruined villages, mist-covered fields, and fractured landscapes where the line between life and death no longer exists.

In this story, there are no heroes. Only a father whose love became a curse… and a scythe that whispers with the soul of the one he killed.

The player must walk a path of redemption and salvation: fighting monsters, exploring dangerous locations, solving puzzles, and developing abilities through a talent tree.

The game blends dynamic scythe-based combat, exploration of dark, ruined locations, and character progression through a branching skill system. Along the way, the hero encounters unique bosses that embody his inner fears, while environmental puzzles reveal hidden secrets. Every decision, upgrade, and discovered corner of the world helps the player build a personal playstyle and brings the father closer to saving his daughter.

The game combines elements of action, exploration, and character development. Progression makes the hero stronger, unlocks new combat abilities, and allows players to create their own playstyle.

The main goal is to save his daughter — the only thing left from his former life. But with every step, the father realizes that the line between salvation and damnation grows thinner.
