Action-adventure built around escorting a captive girl through a crumbling stone castle. You're a horned boy left to die in a sarcophagus; she speaks no language you understand. The core loop: solve environmental puzzles to open gates and reach new areas, then guide her across gaps she can't jump alone. Shadow creatures emerge to drag her back—you fight them off with a stick or later a sword. She's vulnerable and slow. You hold her hand to pull her up ledges, call out so she follows, and backtrack when paths split. No HUD, minimal combat. The castle itself is the puzzle: interconnected courtyards, windmills, water channels. If the creatures grab her, you have seconds to intervene before she vanishes and you restart. It's deliberate, quiet, and demands spatial awareness. Best for players who want mood over speed.
