About the Game

“The kingdom of Nindian has been decaying under a terrible curse that fell upon the land a century ago. The king of that time was deceived by his four most trusted advisors, who persuaded him to perform a dangerous ritual to bring his daughter back from the dead.

Now the world rots, and you awaken with no memory in the midst of a ruined landscape. You must uncover the truth of what happened, rediscover your own identity, and find a way to halt the corruption before it consumes everything.”
