소개

Embark on an epic adventure to the cursed frontier island of Invimona, where you control a party of four customizable guards recruited by the Pavura. Explore seamless pre-rendered environments, investigate an abandoned village, and survive a hostile world filled with bandits, beasts, and vengeful spirits. With a unique blend of real-time beat 'em up combat and deep RPG mechanics, every decision—from lethal strikes to pacifist arrests—shapes your journey.
