It was an age of peace, but a tragic incident occurred at a fortress on the empire’s frontier. The lord of the castle went mad and summoned demons, countless people were sacrificed, and news of the disaster finally reached the imperial capital.The Divine King Lenas immediately dispatched four knights and their order, the pride of the empire – but every one of them disappeared. In the end, the last holy knight, Enoch, and the church sister, Rebecca, set out to uncover the truth. The time given to them is only 30 days…<h2 class="bb_tag" >Game Overview</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>You’ll dash through the castle, find hidden power-ups and items, and challenge powerful bosses – it sticks faithfully to the core formula of a classic Metroidvania.</li><li>The in-game 30 days are more than enough time.
