Description:
"Oh, Cursed Saintess, will your soul find the light, or will you
forever be lost in the darkness?"
A terrible curse blankets the kingdom in shadows, thrusting it into
utter despair and erasing all light. One day, a maiden appears from the
north and chases away the darkness, reintroducing light across the
land. However, after taking in all the shadows, the maiden is consumed
by evil, allowing it to flood out of her body. In a final attempt to
seal that which escaped, the maiden locks herself away.
The king, driven by fear, demands the death of the maiden to save his
kingdom. Many warriors journey forth in an attempt to slay the maiden,
but the darkness curses all who dare to encroach, creating an even
greater evil that consumes the kingdom. Take up arms as the next brave
warrior to save the land and expel the shadows!
Choose between one of five origins: the lives of people who fell just
short of becoming heroes, all with different skills and abilities.
Inherit one of their bodies as your own and begin your heroic journey.
The Heart of Darkness has multiple endings depending on the origin you
choose and the decisions you make throughout your adventure.
Enjoy quick turn-based battles where strategy and choice of allies are
key! Find Shadow Souls—the spirits of warriors past—and enlist their
aid in battle! Each has its own unique backstory and abilities and can
be swapped out freely.
Throughout your adventure, meet both friends and foes also exploring
the Sanctuary. Take on quests to lay low powerful beasts or track down
family heirlooms for fallen noble houses. Manage the Doll's Repose,
your base of operations where you can learn more about the world, craft
new equipment, and expand the mansion to contain new facilities!
Unravel the mysteries shrouding the Sanctuary of Darkness and its
inhabitants in this sinister RPG brought to you by Kagura Games and
BigWednesday.
