About
Epic Story
After a thousand years of the divine rule of the great Lord of Holy Light, the gods suddenly abandoned the Land of Grace. A thousand years ago, the DEADLIGHT, which had been suppressed by the Lord of Holy Light, returned to the land once again. It was a cold yet dazzling light that covered the sky, like a frigid sun, suppressing the vitality of the earth. The temperature dropped, the fields lay barren, and famine and diseases ran rampant. The rule of the church declined. After a hundred years of chaos, a great plague dealt a fatal blow to the continent. People died or turned into monsters. The protagonist, after being infected with the plague, fell into an endless nightmare, only to be awakened by a mysterious voice, which told him to go to the Cathedral of Holy Light, once the center of the continent. The terrifying truth and the fate of the continent will be revealed during this arduous journey.

I just love this combination of extreme classicism and an alternative post - apocalyptic style. It's amazing!
I heard it was completed by one person. It's a bit incredible. The art, music, and combat are all good, and the style is very unique. It's worth a try!
Judging from the current clues, it can be felt that the differences between different endings are huge. Both the plot and the style are very unique. I'll challenge to get all the endings!

The post - apocalyptic atmosphere is fully presented, and the controls feel good. The prop design is a bit rough and simple, but it's understandable.
Discover a treasure! The exhilarating combat and charming atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Considering the game quality, at this price, you can't ask for more.
一直在找冷峻硬核风的银河城,可爱风太多了现在,这个是我要找的,手感合适氛围感爆炸,好评
For those who like this kind of post - apocalyptic atmosphere, the game rhythm is good, the music is nice, and the cost - performance ratio is acceptable!
It's a high - cost - performance masterpiece. Those who like the dark and niche style must buy it. The art, music, and plot create an amazing atmosphere. What's rare is that the combat is also good. It's worth it.
At this price, I think it's a great deal. This kind of atmosphere is quite rare, and the combat is also good. I can dig deeper into the plot.
