›Story

Eshe, a wanderer lost in a desert sandstorm, stumbles upon mysterious ruins and is dragged down into an ever-shifting underworld. There she encounters the Shining Trapezohedron, an eldritch entity that grants her the power to defend herself, and the two begin to travel the caves together. As they descend, the Trapezohedron reveals that this place was once home to the Eschaton, an eldritch theocracy locked in a devastating war with the technologically advanced Valkyries — a conflict whose catastrophic end twisted the survivors into monsters and machines and warped the very landscape. Fighting through the ruins of both civilizations, Eshe gathers fragments of eldritch power called Elder Shards, and must decide whether to sacrifice her humanity for greater strength or resist the entity's temptations as she searches for a way back to the surface.
