Story & Lore
This is a bizarre world ruled by gambling: slot symbols decide life and death, chips are hard currency, and even the gods run a table. You are a nameless wanderer, fighting from the Plains of Pain to the Final Floor against the minions of Lord Slothor.
The world teeters on the brink — Kul’s masked riders once burned the Golden Cathedral, the Ministry’s gambling ban can’t stop tavern dice, the exiled King Lino I roams the Petrified Forest, and the goblins even sold the Kingdom to the moths. Your reels are the only answer to all of it.
Key Characters
A legendary thief-commander who lived through the siege of the Citadel and the battle of Kul. Now guards the cemetery gates, smoking and counting the moons.
The tyrant who seized the Citadel and rules the Final Floor. The final opponent of your journey.
The exiled former tyrant, now roaming the Petrified Forest with his loyal band of thieves — the forest’s boss.
A legendary woman who defied her father to enforce the empire — the Ministry’s boss.
The rambling narrator who greets you at the start, spinning tales of petrified forests and defiant heroes.
Masked riders who burned the Golden Cathedral and pillaged the plains. Their kin appear across the game: the Butcher, Knight and Rider of Kul.
The bureaucracy that banned gambling, forever at odds with tavern dice — also the game’s ninth level.
Story Timeline
The Beggar King once commanded an army of thieves.
He tells stories of the grand siege on the Citadel, the battle of Kun.
Now he guards the cemetery gates, smoking cigarettes and counting the moons.
You find an ancient book, speaking of bygone times. "The Golden Cathedral of Kwyll, tabacco caravans from the Plains of Plenty..."
"The imprisoned ceremonial master Shunna, who invented the coffee ritual to distract his captors..."
And almost unreadable, in the forbidden chapter: faded scribblings of the invasion of Khul, when masked riders burned the Cathedral and pillaged the plains...
Under an old tree you meet a veiled woman who lived in the Citadel before Slothor took it.
In whispers she tells of the exiled King Lino I, once mighty tyrant, now roaming the Petrified Forest with his loyal band of thieves.
Your blade stirrs, you must keep moving!
The Queen Of Skulls appears before you and rambles...
Of trees turned to stone by the sorrow of the fairies. Of mighty Hechtia who defied her father to become an enforcer for the empire.
And of taverns in the ports of Myrr, where sailors defy the gambling prohibition by the ministry.
At the gates of the Final Floor, a flaming hand without body appears. It writes in flame:
Cigarettes and dust will never fail to make one older
The goblins have broken their promise, and sold the Kingdom to the moths
The revamped Shredder3000 is vastly superior to the old Ripper models, mostly due to decreased heat development
