Description
About This Game
Long ago, humanity was granted the [Ember] by the gods, and flourished by lighting up the dark.
But the [Darkest Hour], a cunning human faction, plotted to steal the [Ember] from the world,
and named the righteous who could stand in its way the [Dawn], assassinating them one by one.
The [Darkest Hour]'s plan succeeded, and over a world stripped of every [Ember], the [Eternal Night] fell, where no one can see what lies ahead.
The last [Dawn] left alive is a swordsman who has lost both eyes.
Seeing the world by ear rather than by sight, he takes up the blade and sets out once more.
Combat You Hear
The screen is drowned in darkness. Each time an enemy's foot strikes the ground, the sound ripples out as a wave of light, and only in that moment does their outline appear.
Sense where the unseen enemy stands, and strike first.
Features
Sweep, cut, execute: Break enemies with combo attacks and dash attacks, then end the fight by executing the fallen.
Guard, roll, counter: Turn attacks aside with guards and dodge rolls, and strike back in the opening they leave.
Build your own swordplay: After each stage, pick one of three cards to grow your skills. Four grades of cards, from Common to Legendary, make every playthrough grow differently.
Three bosses: An assassin who vanishes and reappears, a former comrade with lightning speed, and the leader of the [Darkest Hour], clad in armor no attack can pierce. Face foes who change with every chapter.
85 stages, 3 chapters: Pass through wilderness, forest and rain-soaked ruins as cutscenes and flashbacks reveal how the swordsman lost his eyes.
5 languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Russian
Having already lost my eyes... is that misfortune, or fortune...
Either way, from here on, it's my time.
