About the Game
Once upon a time, in a forest far, far away, there lived many mysterious beings…
This is the tale of a young girl’s adventure in that mystical forest she calls home.
Mylne, an apothecary, searches the Mysterious Forest for ingredients so that she can brew her potions. But things soon take a dramatic turn from simple errands—eventually, Mylne finds herself caught up in an unsolved mystery, requiring her to take on what lies in the Underground Ruins, deep beneath the forest.
This charming, dungeon crawler and fantasy RPG is an exciting adventure you won’t soon forget!
Mylne, the Heroine and Forest Apothecary
Mylne is an apprentice apothecary who lives with her grandfather deep in the mysterious forest. Though not yet able to brew her own potions, she is a lively and popular figure among the other forest residents. The whereabouts of her parents is unknown, but Mylne doesn’t let it get her down. Her agility makes her a force to be reckoned with on the dungeon battlefields.
Opening Theme Song Performed by Ayana Taketatsu, Voice of Mylne
