The Doomed Knight

You are the Doomed Knight. After a millennium of servitude and slaughter, you awaken devoid of memory and purpose. Your Master, Black Death, orders you to stop a rising rebellion before its embers set the realm alight. A boy from the realm of the living, whom your Master regards as the omen of the end, has entered the realm. Could the boy be the herald of destruction? Together with your newly met companion, the Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead, and a jolly conscience, you unravel the mysteries of the realm and rediscover your past.
 

You awaken in the City of the Dead, a place as unfamiliar to you as the ghastly screams that echo through it. Your eyes glow red, yet they are naive to the sights. Walk through the Metroidvania-inspired, stone-cold streets of the city and explore the vistas beyond, all with the freedom of classic JRPGs.
