The youngest child of a mysteriously disappeared family didn't join their journey to a faraway land because she had to stay behind and take care of their farm. A local peasant spread the word that a creature from the underworld had taken away the ark, which was meant for her family's escape.
It seems fate has smiled upon her, making her the only one who can save her family by taking them safely back home.
Players can move in eight directions to defend themselves against creatures emerging from the underworld. Defence is possible with scrolls containing magical runes, throwing cards, and other items that can be collected during gameplay.
The magic cards and spells have limited range or last for a short time but can be strengthened by collecting the runes found after defeating red flame-shaped enemies or waving a black and white flag.
Several items, mainly pearls, will be found along the way and can be picked up to help defeat enemy creatures. Each round consists of multiple scenes (areas), and completing each scene sets free another family member who returns safely home.
