About the Game

You play as an archeologist exploring through the ruins of the long fallen Khal Empire when you recover a mysterious ancient gun. When picking up the gun, the soul of an assassinated emperor is dragged out of the spirit world and becomes entrapped into the body of the gun. Due to your actions, a cataclysmic collision of worlds has begun that only you can stop by returning the emperor to his final resting place in the spirit world.

With the emperor at your side, you must traverse the chaos of the oncoming apocalypse as you fight through the vengeful and mad spirits of the fallen empire’s bloody past. Save the fates of both colliding worlds as you uncover the mystery of the emperor’s assassination and the story of the empire’s fall.
