The story takes place in the near future, where distorted monsters and specters have appeared out of nowhere, invading cities and forcing humans to fight these creatures they have called “demons” in an all-out Demon War. After 30 relentless years of war, the surviving humans have united under the Missa Association, a religious group formed by a leader who knows the secret to fighting demons.
Three years ago, a man known as Shin was rescued from the rubble in a cryopreserved state. With no memories of his past, he quickly becomes one of the association’s greatest warriors and protectors. However, when Shin meets the beautiful demon named Lux, she seems strangely familiar to him. This feeling of déjà vu leads him to embrace it, even if it means going against the association’s creeds. From that moment on, the past slowly begins to unfold, revealing the events that caused the city to take its current form. Get ready to dive into this exciting and mysterious Metroidvania adventure in the spring of next year!
