TRAILER

ENVIRONMENT

The environments range from a pond room to an old mining area left behind, to an abandoned pirate cove to a magical shrine missing a small stone to make it complete. 

The pirates long ago discovered this very cave and stumbled upon the shrine above. Seeing the glowing stone in arms reach they mistook the stone as treasure and tried to steal it away, but the mythos called Knockers were upset with this and collapsed the caves and tunnels, and tied the pirates in cages for their feeble attempts. 

Morvoren finds herself in this cave and is guided by a Piskie to restore life to the shrine.
