A Dark Arena of Memories
A warrior awakens in the darkness and fights repeatedly to recover lost memories. As you pass through various atmospheric battle maps—such as coliseums, underground prisons, and noble banquet halls—you’ll uncover fragments of the past through short, subtitled inner monologues. There are no clear answers—only scattered memories hidden in battle.
Design your combos. Time your guards. Turn the tide of battle.
Find your truth in the arena—and shape your own path to victory.
