About this game
A calamity wrought from the stars. A meteor crashed into the land and seeped into the soil. As the corruption spreads, the denizens understand how insignificant they are, and victims of dormancy, they no longer seek out ways to thrive. However, if that opportunity is brought back to them, they will seize it with a renewed fervor.
