6 itemsAbout the Game
In the borderlands of the kingdom, villages have suffered mass disappearances and brutal killings. The sole survivor petitioned the knight order, pleading for them to eradicate the fanatical cult responsible for the atrocities.
The cult’s stronghold lies deep within the forest ruins at the edge of the kingdom. A squad of knights was dispatched to the border, but the entire forest is shrouded by an enchantment that weakens anyone who enters. For safety, the squad set up camp at the forest’s edge to devise a strategy.
Players take on the role of Abigail, a magician of the squad, who volunteers to infiltrate the forest alone, as her magic power can barely resist the barrier’s effects. Her mission is to dismantle the ritual sustaining the enchantment, enabling the knight order to march in and purge the cult once the barrier falls.
The forest and ruins are teeming with hostile beasts and eldritch creatures summoned by the cult. Abigail must rely on her spells to fight, survive, and complete her perilous task.
