CEO Minam Hong told 4Gamer at gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026 that the game combines platform action with growth and roguelike elements, and he named Hades as a comparison point. A demo was playable at the show.
The setting turns fire into God's soul. Demons harvesting human souls to revive the King of Darkness leave the world under eternal night, and God drops the last ember onto a long-dead king, who rises with a life that ends when the flame does. Progress runs through collecting loot, crossing footholds, and repeating boss fights and farming.
Combat style is set by the Flame Core System: five colors (red, blue, black, gold, purple) tied to power, speed, defense, absorption, and madness. Souls from defeated enemies work as both experience and the source of the king's life. The demo ran on an Xbox gamepad, with the left trigger for skills and the Y button for a healing potion.
