About This Game

When you, the sole heir to a noble family and estate, are rudely awoken after a night of revelry, you can barely grasp the extent of the troubles awaiting you. Confronted with a dire ultimatum, you must choose: flee your ancestral home, leaving it under the dubious care of your deceitful uncle, or face arrest by the Capitano of the Guard for a crime you don't recall committing.

Embark on a captivating journey through the illustrious kingdom of Antara to seek justice and uncover the truth. Evade relentless pursuers, duel daring bandits, seek guidance at the temple of the Goddess, and unravel a nefarious scheme to clear your name.
