  In a world of unflinching order, The Tower is the beacon for lost souls that cannot be assigned to either eternal penitence or the afterlife. Created long ago, its purpose is to provide lost souls with the opportunity to prove their fate by climbing to the very top as a way of peregrinate.

  Once a soul leaves its body it will not take long for it to lose its memory if it does not ascend to the afterlife, so souls that enter the Tower receive a Mark to protect them and their link to their previous life. Without a Mask, souls linger aimlessly in the Tower.  

  

  Something is a little different in the Tower, however, and souls seem to be losing their memories of their past life while their Masks are chipped away mysteriously, becoming more and more like mindless beasts. Shards of those Masks can be found in the tower, and they seem to possess a strange power to them.

  This is where your journey starts. Unfortunately without a clear memory of what happen, but with one clear information: somehow you did not prove your worth while alive. As you struggle through your first steps in the Tower you are faced with a mindless beast. A wolf-like small creature, that looks aggressive and confuse. As it rushes to attack you, you manage to find an eerie Scythe, and slay the beast where it stood. As you did so, you feel a strange connection to your memories getting back… the weight of the weapon, the cold decision on how to wield it… there is no doubt: you were a warrior in your past life. 

  

  Dying as a warrior is nothing strange, but usually warriors are received in the afterlife with glorious celebrations for having fulfilled their role in the world as they die honorably. Being tested after death could mean that your death wasn’t usual. Your death was without honor.

  

  The quickest way to prove your value as a warrior is through combat, and the clearer way to your past is asking the one that oversees it all, the Tower’s creator. Determined to get your answers, you start your climb in the tower, feeling your bond with your past life strengthening as you battle, searching for your past while fighting for your uncertain future.
