About this game Read the full description
Dive into a broken land and take on the role of Skye, the last living guardian, as she awakens to find the world in shambles. As you trek across sweltering bogs, through snowy forests, and even deep into the earth, you'll find that much isn't as it seems.
Your guide through the world is the goddess Esara, the last true defense against the corruption that is enveloping life itself. With her help it may be possible to piece together what happened and keep the world from falling entirely.
