About

A long time ago, war broke between humans and monsters (Wait, isn’t it that game’s into ?). After years of struggle, humans emerged victorious, and sealed the monsters away with the help of powerful artifacts. Now, a thousand years later, humans have completely forgotten about this war and these artifacts. In this hack, you play as Sylvester, a debuting brigand who will see himself becoming a hero when the monsters banished a millenium ago suddenly resurface. Together with his loyal right-hand man, the leader of what remains of a mercenary group after a mutiny, a teenage amazon seeking strength and validation and more than sixty other weirdos, of course.
