Story

When Kharzoid seized control of Xyleria, he turned the realm into his twisted playground. To satiate his cruel whims, he devised a diabolical Trial. Each month, he would take a prisonner, cast his soul into a magical skull, and send it in a labyrinth brimming with deadly traps and grotesque monstrosities. Nobody ever won the Trial. The victims suffered eternal torment, with Kharzoid feasting on their despair to fuel his dark dominion.

Returning from a perilous journey across realms, our hero finds his homeland ravaged and devastated. Vowing to end Kharzoid’s reign, he embraces the grim challenge of the Trial, determined to survive, overcome the labyrinth, and shatter the necromancer’s iron grip once and for all.
