5 CHARACTERS, 5 WAYS TO FIGHT THE EVIL FROM MYTHS
Each character has their own story and their own style of behavior. A private detective, a witch, a thief, a professor, and even a ghoul—each with their own characteristics, weapons, and fighting style—all these are five completely different ways to play this game. The detective is a character balanced by Health and Endurance. The Professor is a ranged specialist, has less Health and his weapon, called Tillinghast, has a special shield. The Witch has great striking power, can teleport, has protective curtains of fire and ice, but has low Health. The Thief is a master of close combat, has the advantage of becoming invisible to cause even more damage. The Ghoul is also a master of close-range attacks, has high Health and excellent recovery, but cannot use a medkit.
