About the game

The world of Arkose is in Chaos as a mysterious plague, known as "Shadow Madness", ravages the land. With no cure, it strikes without warning, leaving vile creatures and piles of dust where its victims once stood. As the one hope to this doomed land, you must stop this scourge before it stops you.
