HIgh Concept Statement:
In the once-glorious Enchanted Realms, a shadowy menace has emerged, its insidious
darkness swallowing entire realms. Legend speaks of an ancient prophecy foretelling the
arrival of a group of heroes destined to stop this looming darkness before it consumes the
whole land. Some formerly good and kind animals and mythical creatures are also trapped in
the clutches of darkness, who are currently trying to ruin the lives of anyone who crosses
their path. Players, chosen by fate, must embark on a dangerous quest in different realms to
save the land from growing darkness and restore all creatures to their loving characteristics,
completing challenges set by various creatures they encounter along the way. But the
darkness advances quickly and the players must be quick with it, so they can’t wait for
anything when completing the individual challenges, because they are running out of time!
