About the Game

Zeran's Folly is a story-driven action-adventure with fluid melee combat, four unique playable characters, and a twisted sense of humor. Follow the adventures of Lone as he scours the land for the artifacts that will do... something. In the end, Lone will have to choose between abandoning either his friends or everything he's worked for. What would you choose?
