About
A neo-classic digital gamebook RPG that reimagines the charm of classic gamebooks for the modern age. Experience the nostalgic feel of scribbling stats with a pencil, rolling dice to decide your fate, and flipping pages by hand. The “authentic fantasy” you crave is right here!
Key Features
A Rich Fantasy Woven by Two Protagonists – Set in the plague-ridden capital of Erishing, the narrative centers on the Dark Castle, inhabited by a mysterious witch. Players choose between two protagonists — Havelock the warrior and Paneri the mage — to experience the narrative from two distinct perspectives.
Dice Rolls and Choices Shape Your Destiny – Your fate is determined by your decisions and the roll of the dice. Good fortune may save you from a crisis, but a single careless choice can lead to an unexpected death.
Over 300 Hand-Drawn Illustrations – Veteran creator Yoshio Nishimura, with over 30 years of experience in the industry, spent more than six years hand-drawing over 300 illustrations to bring this world to life.
