For Mercuri, a girl who fell into a fallen kingdom, everything is overwhelming. She digs deeper into the depths of the kingdom with the help of Golem Hando. Take down the enemies in front of you with TAG-ACTION that alternates between two characters and continue your exploration!

The kingdom of [Sophiatica], once built by alchemists, has now fallen into ruin. Now, it is a den of masterless golems roaming without purpose. Mercouri, a girl wielding a book, and Hando, a hand-shaped golem, have fallen into this kingdom.
To revive their friend Hadel, they embark on a journey to find his soul, the Pangenium. The Pangenium has shattered into eight pieces and scattered across the kingdom.
Setting foot in Sophiatica, Mercouri and Hando move forward together, helping one another. What secrets and trials await them?

Mercouri runs across the ground, while Hando flies through the air. But neither of them is perfect. Short Mercouri can’t reach high places, and golem Hando can’t pick up items or interact with objects.
By switching between the two characters, they can compensate for each other’s weaknesses. Hando helps Mercouri reach higher places, and aerial enemies can be tackled by Hando.
Powerful foes must be lured and defeated through clever character switching. Solve puzzles that one character alone cannot, and win battles by outsmarting the golems!
Mercouri is a small and seemingly insignificant alchemist girl. She attacks enemies with a flurry of strikes from her soul-infused book.
Hando is a dependable golem who supports the untrustworthy Mercouri. He floats through the air, defeating high-up enemies and discovering hidden items.

Sophiatica is a kingdom composed of uniquely themed areas— from underground waterways, blazing hot mining zones, to the climate gardens above the clouds. Each area hides secret paths, items, and mechanics. With a bit of attention, you’ll uncover the kingdom’s subtle secrets.
This vast and interconnected kingdom is also home to NPCs with their own stories. As Mercouri and Hando go on their adventure, so too do the inhabitants continue their own journeys.
