The story unfolds on the world of Umbra, where a cataclysm long ago halted the planet's rotation, leaving one half forever scorched by sunlight and the other locked in frozen darkness, with only a narrow strip of habitable land in between. Ages later, humanity has rebuilt a new society upon the ruins of the lost advanced civilization that the disaster buried. The tale follows Amon, an adventurer who scavenges ancient ruins for a living, until he finds himself swept into a far greater conflict against the domineering Suvian Empire.(Storyline via IGDB)
