Upon drifting onto the shore, the journey to broker peace dissolves into a struggle for survival on a treacherous island rife with undead. While sailing across a stormy sea to transport a princess and strike a truce between rival kingdoms, a calamitous encounter with a sinister abomination wrecks the player’s ship.
