Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This action RPG sets the stage in a mythical era where a lone swordsman embarks on a quest to end the dominion of monsters. Guided by an ancient scroll, the player navigates the perilous and trap-filled labyrinth of the Tower of Faunus to rescue abducted maidens and recover the legendary Lady Sword.
Story
The World of Monsters
In an era when legends and myths were still very much real, countless monsters lived in the nations of the world. They hid in mountain caves, cold lakes, and ruined castles, continually plotting intrigue and domination. While a few monsters protected weak humans, most brought strife and destruction to the human world.
The appearance of a brave young one was awaited to end the era of monsters and begin the age of humans.
The Protagonist's Journey
The protagonist, a swordsman, continued a journey without destination through nations ravaged by monster attacks. Many humans tried to fight back but suffered merciless attacks, leading to the destruction of many nations. Simultaneously, many beautiful maidens were taken away to the world of the monsters.
After crossing the desert, the protagonist arrived at a city surrounded by ancient stone fortresses. There, he met an old man, the only swordsman. The old man held an ancient scroll written hundreds of years ago, which would greatly change the protagonist's fate.
The Tower of Faunus
The scroll recorded in ancient script that the abducted maidens had been gathered at the Tower of Faunus, an ancient ruin and one of the monsters' strongholds. It also stated that the legendary sword, 'Lady Sword,' the strongest weapon for defeating monsters, was located there.
•
Location: Tower of Faunus
•
Status: Ancient ruin and monster stronghold
•
Objective: Rescue abducted maidens and obtain the 'Lady Sword'
The Tower of Faunus was protected by demonic power and riddled with traps, repelling those who entered with danger and mystery. Despite the risks, swordsmen continued to head toward the tower to rescue the maidens and obtain the legendary weapon.
Entering the Tower
The protagonist summoned his courage and headed for the Tower of Faunus, relying on a map written in ancient texts. One day, the tower finally revealed its strange form before his eyes.
When the swordsman stood before the gate, the heavy door, made by meticulously assembling stones, slowly opened. Inside the tower, a labyrinth of stone walls stretched across multiple layers. A fight from which there was no return quietly began.

Previous role-playing games often required tedious grinding for experience points. This title adopts a new growth system, allowing players to focus on exploring dungeon maps and solving story mysteries.
Controls are summarized to be easy, with basic methods displayed as messages in-game. This makes the game accessible to beginners immediately.
The auto-mapping function allows players to always view the 2D map during gameplay. This makes the game enjoyable even for those who are bad at 3D dungeons.
