LIGHT AURA

They said gods didn't exist. They were wrong, and the most vicious took the very resource needed to survive: light. Now, you're left to channel whatever magic you have into a fragile glow to guide your path. The more you shine, the more you can see, but the easier they can find you. Look for a good balance and use the darkness to your advantage.

ITEMS

Chests and crates litter the place, each containing money or a weapon. Everything you find has its own use, strengthening you in various ways. Some will let you conjure magic, others will cut deep into the flesh of your foes, and a few might even keep you breathing.

THE LABYRINTHS

A gray, abandoned maze of brick walls and tiles. With no landmarks, it can be easy to lose your way. Cursed souls drift eternally while rogue machines lurk around every corner, forcing a dangerous environment. Weapons here are plentiful, but the lack of magic is suffocating. The darkness ascends from below. Something has to be down here...

THE BURIED DESERT

Buried in old, forgotten temples lie weapons charged with a magical force, though traversing the region may prove difficult. Otherworldly beings are constantly on the hunt as sections get locked down, and one turn could lead to certain death. There's no telling how deep these ruins go.

THE GREEN VALLEYS

Once full of life, the valleys now conceal hidden traps and small creatures under the thick foliage. Deadly predators stalk through the tall grass, using the rugged terrain to their advantage.

THE VILLAGE

An endangered sanctuary at the heart of chaos; the residents just don't know it yet. Here, upgrade your weapons, refill your supplies, and recuperate before facing the horrors ahead. The four paths surrounding the village all lead into the unknown that grows restless.
