About the Game

Grief leads a swordswoman and a necromancer to raise an infamous knight from his grave. Follow the trio's intimate quest for vengeance and make choices that impact their relationships with one another and those they meet.

-Enjoy beautiful sprite art and character illustrations.

-Consider space and terrain in creative ways to survive fast-paced, player-phase-focused tactical battles.

-Meet complex characters and form relationships, both platonic and romantic, between them to gain in-battle benefits.

-Make choices that impact the narrative and the relationships between various characters. All choices have consequences, both positive and negative.

-Replay and make different choices to discover dozens of secret endings and character epilogues. Weapons, items, and gold carry over with new game plus.

-Characters die permanently, but there are always more stories to be told; when a character dies, new narrative branches, relationships, and recruitments become available.

-Focus on narrative without worrying about battlefield character deaths in Story mode.

-There's a cat!
