Taking the role of the 'King of Darkness' you must regain your power exploring the vast lands of the world of 'Aeterna' across 16 different and connected areas in pure Metroidvania vibe. Frame by frame animation using hand drawn style confers a singular personality to the title, making different each single level and character and also belonging to the Aeterna Noctis universe

History

Chaos, the supreme god, creator of the Universe and all its inhabits, decided at one point in his creation to make the world of Aeterna. He populated it with different races and appointed wise rulers to lead the way. Before long, these beings turned against their creator, merging into two large groups and giving rise to war, death, and hatred. This angered Chaos who, in his infinite immortality, took it as an insult to his magnificence and casts a terrible curse on the rulers of both factions. He named them King of Darkness and Queen of Light and condemned them to fight each other until the end of days. Cursed, even death could not free them from their destiny since, even if they defeated their opponent, Chaos granted them the Gift of Immortality and they were reborn again to regain their power and continue their eternal war.
