Story line?

[Is this public?]

Hey,

I'm interested in getting this game. Does it have a story? Or is it just a dungeon crawl?

[☭Eden Code☭]

I'm curious about this too.

It does have a story, but you'll have to explore the dungeons to learn more :)

That or Google it I suppose.

There is a story, or I may say, a background.

some entry of a journal can be recovered on your explorations.

the game lore is rich, but don't expect a super detailed encyclopedia. it's all about suggestion and story telling.

Define = destroy | Suggest = create
Suggérer, c’est créer. Décrire, c’est détruire

It does have a story line which connects the dungeon crawling together. At certain points you get plot dumps.

Hmm, so it is more like a guided story in something let's say Dragon's Crown, or a environmental lore driven story like Bloodborne or the Souls games or just something with a story tacked on like MonHun?

The story is limited. Lore and narration are provided as you dungeon crawl basically.

Danke for the straight forward answer.

I would say intro of the game itself can show you quite a lot about the game background/story (in addition to new game intro) - easily accessible on YT/Google. There isnt THAT much after that, beside some umm.. cutscences? after beating bosses. But from my experience narrator (who is only "character" that speaks during the game) is all that matters.

This is the TL, DR story:

Of course there is the intro cinematic, and some journal entries before bosses. And the ancestor's voice from beyond whenever you do sth. awesome or awfully fail.

There is excellent narration throughout and the game is very atmospheric. The world feels alive.



SPOILER ALERT:

You are the family member of a wealthy nobleman living in a great mansion in a distant land. The wealthy nobleman is a hedonist however and is seeking thrills. After burning through all normal perversion, he gains an obsession with the rumors there is a great source of power hidden below his lands. He starts digging for it, obsessed, maddening and even killing invited guests, experts and villagers who are curious or concerned. He burns through his wealth, until he finally stumbles upon the hidden power. It turns out it is horribly cursed though and it almost instantly turns the land into a cursed hellscape that mutates and poisons. Horrible monsters arise, all the nobleman's sins and killed guests turn against him.
The nobleman ends up killing himself, but not before writing you a letter.

You inherit the nobleman's ruined, dilapitated and cursed estates. The only one mad enough to go there besides you, are throngs of would-be heroes thinking it's their chance for glory and wealth.

Basically all the locations and bosses, have a history with your ancestor. This is what binds them.

Thank you. Looks good. I've also seena few lets plays and I like the art direction. One more question, what's the end game like? Is there a finale and a wrap-up or dos the game simply run out of dungeons?

[phantasmal]

I have yet to see the end, but I know that there is a final cutscene and boss. The end goal is to beat 4 really hard dungeons, the game ends once you beat them all.
