The main character is Ardeshir, the bearer of the Eternal Flame.He travels to the forgotten city of Ytash to lift the curse that has consumed his homeland.

The sequel has become a full-fledged Metroidvania: Ytash areas are connected to each other, and new abilities open up previously inaccessible routes.The combat system is still built around the flaming sword.Compared to the first game, which focused on short runs against the advancing Mist, the sequel promises to be longer and rely more heavily on exploration.

The developers claim hand-drawn graphics with motifs of Persian architecture, fast and flexible control of the hero and hidden endings that reveal the secrets of the island.

A demo of the game was available on Steam from January to May.The studio removed it from publication, explaining that the game had changed a lot since then and the demo no longer reflected the final version.
