About This Demo

Story

In a world plagued by injustice and corrupted by darkness, the souls who have met unjust death refuse to rest. Instead, they become monstrous beings thirsting for revenge. Amidst this despair and chaos, a masked executioner arrives. Carrying a whip made from human spines, which is believed to have the power to calm these restless souls. As the line between good and evil blurs, is there any hope left for humanity? Can these tortured souls truly be saved, or is all hope lost? Can darkness be tamed, or will our world sink into eternal night?
