Following an earthquake revealing ancient legendary underground passages, your protagonist embarks on an adventure to uncover the secrets buried deep within the dungeon's entrails.
Between confrontations, exploration, strategic choices, and resource management, each decision shapes your progression and confronts you with the terrible Veilleurs who fiercely guard these depths.
