Queen Of Enko | -final- -ph Studio-

For those with the patience to learn its arcane systems and the heart to endure its narrative cruelty, this final chapter offers one of the most rewarding experiences in independent gaming. The Queen is dead. The Queen is alive. And the throne has never felt colder.
