Half a Game of Chess Seals the Snow

Falling snow blankets the remnants of a shattered realm; a single stone decides the fate of the world.

An earthshaking case from years past destroyed an entire clan. The survivors vanished into the snow and wind, using chess as a blade as they lay in wait for years.

Black and white pieces fall, each move a scheme in the struggle for power across the martial world, and a shackle burying a sea of blood and hatred. With half a game left unfinished, he braves the frost and snow to investigate long-buried events, only to step deeper into a trap laid long ago.

The martial world glitters with blades, the court is rife with intrigue, old friends may be true or false, and loyalty is torn against old enmities.

Only when snow covers the chessboard does he realize that no perfect solution exists in this world.

The player is ultimately trapped in the game; when the snow is sealed away, there is no returning to the years gone by.
