SYNOPSIS
 
You've got monsters to kill!

Years ago, the land took to the sky, becoming a mysterious series of floating islands where the power-hungry Church of Aloe now rules with an iron fist. With the help of some abnormal martial prowess and an amnesiac automaton named Chervil, Vernal will try to find her estranged father. She’ll of course need to make her way across this mysterious land if she wants to satisfy her need for revenge.


While exploring this kingdom, don’t forget that secrets can be hidden anywhere! Jump, run, slide around, and have fun! Leave no stones unturned in order to get more and more powers. But don’t take too much time: you still have to hunt your father…
