About This Game

What if the Tower of Babel Never Fell?


Experience an old-school fantasy JRPG with biblical and Shakespearean allusions!

Embark on a Journey!


As you awake, your father—the King of Achaea—greets you with the following message:

"Caspian, as it is now your sixteenth birthday, it is time for you to prove your worth as the heir to Achaea's throne. You must first show your ties to the dragon, Fafnir, by awakening him from his slumber. Only then can you fly to the Tower of Babel. Once at the top of the tower, you will be able to receive the Mandate of Heaven. Don't fret, you don't need to do this alone; I have made arrangements with Ruth's Tavern in order for you to gain companions for your journey! In addition, here's 1000G in order to properly equip you and your companions and a world map so that you never get lost. Good luck on your quest! Godspeed!"

...and with his parting words, you set off on your adventure!
