The world

You explore a sprawling, interconnected world of ancient castles, eerie catacombs and haunted forests, filled with undead horrors and supernatural abominations. Traps, hidden passages and secrets lie along the way. The world is rendered in pixel art and accompanied by a haunting musical score.
