About the Game

Step into a world full of magic and where once the gods reigned supreme, but now hunted and on the brink of oblivion.

A vanished love. A forgotten war. A destiny he never knew.

Michael's world is turned upside down when a fallen goddess returns, forcing him to confront his own mysterious origins and a looming battle between gods and mortals.

His search for answers will reveal a truth more dangerous than he could ever imagine.
