That Which Was Lost

That Which Was Lost is a 2D retro RPG about Shea, a young scholar trying to save her home from the Plague. The disease consumes everyone it touches, and the valley where Shea lives has long been a safe refuge. When darkness engulfs Whitegrain Village and the people she loves, Shea must cross the desert separating the valley from the rest of the world and face its dangers.

Shea and the Ancient

The world was once ruled by the Ancient, whose creations laid its foundations. Little is known about them or their culture, though they are believed to have worshiped many Gods, with the Supreme Goddess Lathea above them all. Kind, just, mighty and wise, Lathea loved the Ancient Ones and valued knowledge. She left humankind books written in her own hand, but people have forgotten the old ways and language and can no longer read them.

Shea has spent her life studying the Ancient Language, believing the cure for the Plague lies in those texts. Her knowledge may be the only way to save her people.
