INTERVIEW WITH CREATOR “LEE”
Lee: The character’s name is Gardila, originating from the word Guardian. Guardila is a guardian of a region. His physique is slightly longer than the human species, and lives up to around 400 years old. The biological status of Gardilla though, maintains as a 30 year old. He has been watching over this region for multiple generations, encountered many intruders and enemies, yet they were all defeated by him. Sadly, he did not come out with a victory in this battle. Ending up laying in the middle of the forest, slowly dying. Here is when the game begins.

Since birth, gardilla was born with deformed facial features, that is why he is constantly wearing a mask, have no friends and very introverted. After experiencing some time of a poor and exilic life, he was finally adopted by this village and was raised here. Because of his extremely powerful physique, he became the guardian of this village and thus was greatly loved by everyone but he still somewhat struggles with communicating. The primary weapon of Gardilla is his mask with spiritual powers. Wearing a different mask will transform him into a different state with different combat abilities. Throughout the game, players will constantly collect different masks to expand the power of Gardilla, also the story behind each mask will be explained.

In this world, humans don’t bleed, and the element iron is nonexistent. When humans die, they will not decompose, instead they will turn into hard crystal stones. These stones are used to create humanly materials. Gardilla discovered that making masks with these stones will bring along the power of that dead person, therefore he collected the mask of all the dead enemies in battle making it into his own weapon. As the gates of death begin to approach Gardilla, he realises that he will also turn to a crystal stone and will recollect the memories of the enemies from his past. The memories and their battles, you try to save their souls. Players can experience the psychological changes of the character throughout the game.
