About
Weave your own story in this dark fairy tale. In the mysterious ancient ruins, Loretta, a girl who has parasitized by an alien beast, tries to break through the fog and uncover the truth about her fate. Is there any chance of survival in the darkest place?
Awesome and Exciting Combat
We offer a wide range of weapon combinations, so you can add to your talent tree to create your own unique arsenal. Use your favorite weapon to beat up your enemies, whether it’s a long sword, a tentacle or a giant hammer! In addition, a wide variety of items provide Loretta with special skills, so make the best choice for each level and take down the monsters with awesome skills and fast combos!
Rich Plot and Various Endings
You can control the course of the story, helping Loretta make choices at key points and charting a course of exploration of your own. Different routes may lead you to different endings, allowing you to explore multiple times if you wish. Plenty of clues and information are hidden in many unexpected places, so be careful and don’t miss any details.
Diverse and Unique Costumes
While incorporating a dark fairy tale style, we’ve also done a lot of fashionable and trendy clothing – a maid’s outfit with stylish earrings? No problem! If you collect enough items, Loretta can be transformed into the most beautiful girl you’ve ever imagined.
A New and Interesting Way to Play
Don’t want to waste time on the road? Don’t remember where you were last time when you reload the game? These problems will no longer exist in this game. The map is designed to save Loretta the most time in exploring, and the interactive system on the start-up screen will alert the player to the progress of the game. Loretta will summarize the shortcomings of the last game in kind words. She is not just a simple game character, she will also accompany you in her own way and together we will change the fate of the world.
