STORY

There is a ruin erased from history —
a castle that sleeps beneath the mist and lets no one return.

All that remains within are the memories of those who once lived there,
and countless items whose purpose no one knows.

With no means to fight,
the protagonist walks ever deeper into the ruins,
drawing closer to the truth that waits beyond the mist.
