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.

1、人物动作有一种奇特的怪异感,但配合一些背景画面还是可以的 但是有些场景又比较跳,有点虚,比如黑暗的地方 2、是真难打,经常死掉的地方离存档点很远,巨红温 3、那个幽灵怪和后面那个双剑怪巨恶心,幽灵怪是血少攻速快来回晃,双剑怪变态刀光吸不了,滞空连击你,。。。。。。 听说后面更新会降低难度,先看看吧
Sadly I bought it but it doesn't play, locks on the languid screen. I had to buy it from Epic Games and it works good there. .
The plot is deeply hidden, and the suspense is finally revealed. It's simply terrifying. The combat feel is also good.
Discover a treasure! The exhilarating combat and charming atmosphere. Highly recommended.
I just love this combination of extreme classicism and an alternative post - apocalyptic style. It's amazing!
Mysterious background, oppressive atmosphere, and satisfying combat!
It's rare to create a post - apocalyptic atmosphere with a pale color as the keynote. The controls are excellent, the music is exciting. It's really impressive that it was made by one person.
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!
There aren't many puzzle - solving elements, but piecing together the truth with a small amount of information is fascinating. Combined with good combat and art, it has a high cost - performance ratio.
