About XLarn
Deep down in the Earth, Demonic Temples await you. The countdown will begin as you make your way in search of the only hope your daughter has for recovery.
She has fallen gravely sick and the villagers all say that her only chance is an elixir found somewhere in the deepest temples underground.
