About
Pick up your sword and hit the road!
Every level is hidden in plain sight in this nonlinear 3D Action-Adventure game! Travel a vast country’s unmarked overworld in search of the next challenging fight, humorous encounter, or mysterious landscape. YOU decide what you discover next in this world of Fae, Humans and Angels!
The Angel’s mothership, Throne, lays dormant behind a fierce storm. To reach it, unlock its secrets, and usher in the future, you must explore the land of Era and survive its trap-filled ruins, primordial forests, treacherous mountains, mines, and more! Overcome intense battles and hilarious hazards in this tale of betrayal, haunting lore, and fruitless yearning.
Hello, developerss Melos and Marina here. Today, our hero Tets, and his ally Arkas will introduce the game, alongside the villainous Niamh!
Unique “Bumpslash” Combat is Easy to Learn… But Don’t Get Cocky!
Tets: “I’ve spent many years practicing the Art of Bumpslash—just bump me into enemies to automatically attack! It’s fast-paced, and you’ll pick it up in no time!”
Princess Niamh: “HAHAHAHA!! Tets, my dear… aren’t you giving them false hope? After all, the Fae spirit ‘Melos’ has prepared many vicious and hilarious tricks to guard our ancient secrets! My heart swells thinking of the suffering that awaits these unsuspecting players!”
A Vast World, Brimming With Secrets!
Angel Arkas: “Don’t forget the bigger picture: a vast world map you can search to find levels and zones. Follow your instincts to chart a flexible path. Go at your own pace—follow your spirit! Life’s not a checklist, it’s an experience!!
“A woven myth… arcane and emotional!”
Tets: “Agreed! I can’t wait to escape into this world’s haunting lore, woven from Irish mythology, early Christian philosophy, and Japanese American history. By poring over ancient texts and researching on-location, Melos and Marina have grounded their world in truth!”
Angel Arkas: “Truth is not limited to dusty details, Tets. You’ve forgotten about Angeline Era’s tales of fruitless yearning, life-shattering betrayal and unsettling beauty! Only the truths of the heart will bring forth the future…”
Princess Niamh: “What on earth are you two going on about? This is an action game. KILL, KILL!!”
