About this game

You are a young hunter who lives with his family in a little village deep in the desert. One day your younger brother falls sick and you go on a trip to find a doctor. At night you meet a mysterious girl who calls herself Tiziri. Maybe she can help your brother? 

Soon you find yourself in a big ancient castle located in the middle of the Sahara — a beautiful, but fragile place. Its walls seem to crumble at your touch. And only your decisions can save it from the danger of human ambition and greed. 

The castle has a long history. Is there still anyone who remembers the day it was built? And what does it have to do with our story?

Ancient witchcraft protects the place from sandstorms and enemy armies, but once the magic source is lost, time itself becomes a threat.
