A millennium has passed since Kavlov imprisoned the demon Balthazar deep beneath the earth, binding themselves within the Halls of Dread to guarantee their success. However, as Kavlov's power fades, so does the demon's prison. Do you have what it takes to stop the ritual circles from being activated and prevent Balthazar's escape? Or will you take on the role of the villain, seeking to unleash untold destruction on the world by freeing the demon from its bonds?
Explore the dread-filled halls of Kavlov's Sanctuary and uncover the ancient secrets and betrayals that could determine the fate of the world. But be warned, your actions have consequences, and the ultimate battle between good and evil is closer than ever before!
