You are Arthur Artorias, the sole survivor of a military catastrophe that claimed the legacy of your family. Any mention of them has been lost from historical records. Everyone believed you to be dead, but you return after eight years of irretrievably lost time – unrecognizable, scarred, and thirsting for revenge.
A complex system of survival and planning will help you progress in the game, avoid danger, and replenish resources. You will need to find food and water, create weapons and medicine, and upgrade armor and weapons.
