Tales of Acilain
SteamOne kingdom. A century-old curse. A missing arm turned into a spectral weapon.
For a hundred years, the Dark Man has emerged from the abyss to claim a soul. This year, the Pit chose you. But you didn't die in the fall. Saved by a mysterious spirit, you must now navigate the ruins of a fallen empire, hunt down the four corrupted Generals, and break the cycle of blood once and for all.
