You're a young woman living in the heart of a dark and dismal swampland.
It's time for the ritual of Season's End, and the Elder of the village selects you to fulfil a special mission: you have to find four Pearls of the Earth, special stones that emerge from places of suffering or grief. To help you with this special task, a senior warrior accompanies you as your companion - an upbeat, earnest woman whose past and values you can learn through the course of the story. Tolerate her or treat her with care to determine different outcomes.
Thanks to the parasitic tree planted in your spine, you're ready to protect the village from the dangers of the outside world at any cost.
