Whenever mist hangs over Lake Orwell, sailors catch sight of a phantom castle just out of reach. As they draw near, it fades away, leaving only questions for all who have seen this “Castle Strangerock.” Now, you must aid your charge in uncovering its secrets...even if it costs you your very soul.

— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“This is secretly Falcom's best game, and it's a crying shame that more people don't know it exists.”
— a player, Steam review · 32 hrs played“This is a gamer's game. An action RPG dungeon crawl with any extra cruft stripped out. We have a minimal plot, and a whole lot of stats, skills, and secrets. I got done in about 12 hours in-game, and had a grand time rolling credits.”
