Moon soo the monk is Jeomdo Island's spiritual leader.

Nuri the huntress is a bit of an outcast on Jeomdo Island - But in times like these, heroism may be found in unexpected places...

Writing a branching narrative game takes a lot of work.

Luckily, using @articydraft helped us navigate the sprawling web of outcomes! Would recommend :)
