Suzaku and Shiori (I’ll talk a bit more about them soon) have been sent to quietly investigate Lady Faratras, as some people have become suspicious of her. His power disrupted the balance of Mana in the world, turning some innocent creatures into fearsome beasts. Animals have been corrupted by the power of the Demon King, despite him being contained for 21 years at this point. There is something occurring in the world called Mana Scourge. She notices he has red eyes… but only descendants of the royal family (such as herself) have those eyes…! So now she needs all the help she can get to convince the world she hasn’t been corrupted before everyone, everywhere turns on her and tries to replace her as the Vassal. So when she’s attacked by her own people at her own castle, she doesn’t want to risk fighting back in case it is perceived as the Demon King breaking free and controlling Lady Faratras instead of the other way around. Lady Faratras is the current Vassal, and it’s up to her (with as much outside help as possible) to keep the Demon King under control. The good news, however, is that it’s possible to contain his power within a human body. But he was immortal, meaning he could only be repelled and never defeated. The kingdom stood up to him with the help of eight Legendary Heroes. The Demon King first appeared 60 years ago. There is no stopping to explain backstory, it all fits into the narrative in a streamlined way. All of the necessary history is told in the prologue, opening up the rest of the game to the present rather than the past. There is a high story to go through with this one, so I’m going to try to sum it up as quickly as possible without spoiling anything. There’s something about it that draws you in and keeps you wondering, regardless of how much you’ve already played. Even in my brief (two chapters) experience with the game, I knew it was going to be something special. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to preview the game last month. And they are all part of Path of the Midnight Sun, a new indie entry to the genre that has just released.
