In the ashes of a ruined world, hope for salvation exists only in old legends.

A religious cult in a distant village suffers from a devastating disease.

They believe their lives could be saved by the healing power of a mysterious flower that grows deep within a dark, terrifying forest.

Picked by fate — or by cruel providence — a desperate squad of chosen ones is forced to embark on a journey where every step may be their last. All for the sake of salvation... to find and reach the Fern Flower.

But they will suffer not only from the poisoned air and the cursed post-apocalyptic nature. Fear, doubt, and loss loom over them, threatening to darken their path and hide the right way.

Will these doomed souls have a chance to survive the journey through the forest? Or will the chase for the Fern only bring them into new danger?

Dark Valiance is an RPG with turn based battles. There is no Farming, no Dungeons to explore, no surprise battles and it's totally linear. The particularity resides in its specials Dark Powers, its story and the way battles are managed. The game works with a day/night cycle. During day the player can rest, buy items/equipment etc... During night he goes into the keep to fight a boss monster. The main reason is because I want to focus the game on battles and the influence of dark power.

However, people find the Frog menacing, and do not understand them. They run away from the Frog, and occasionally attempt to attack them in misguided fear...

It has been three years since the Loveland Frog was last seen, and tonight they have decided to shake things up. They wish to go for a stroll across a busy highway, where many people will be able to see that they really exist. However, due to their isolation from human culture, they do not understand "vehicles", and so do not know the danger they represent...
