About This Game

"Beyond the great plains and mountains, deep inside the forbidden lands, lies a dormant kingdom, unreached in centuries. Those who enter the ranges of its terrible curse, will forever be drifting between its weaving paths, running from its horrible creatures, sleeping in crumbling temples, and watching the lights on the mountain during starry nights."

"That narrow, broken path through the trees there. Snakes all the way deep into the kingdom." The old man looks at you. "Rubble and curses are all that's left there. Some other went there long ago. Looked just like you. Best you find something else." He grows silent, his eyes fixed beyond the trees.
