Caught in the struggle between the two is the nearly forgotten Osborn race, discriminated and enslaved. Mei, a young Osborn man, leaves his home village in order to free his people, and to discover the forbidden secrets of Beljuna which remain a taboo in this land.

Players can explore all of Riglas from the outset, a world populated by many different types of friendly and hostile characters.

Combat is simple: approach a character and press the attack button to swing Mei's sword.
