About the Game

Ohan of Van, a monk, leads the disciples of Mesrop Mashtots, the creator of the letters, upon a sacred journey to deliver the first translated page of the Holy Scripture to the king. Resolute in his purpose, he seeks to complete the difficult path ahead in a timely manner. Passing safely through lands from which none had ever returned, the monks at last take their rest. That is the last thing Ohan recalls after waking up alone in a dark valley of the unknown.
