Skeletons from the land called the Abyss of Death have invaded the village, and the heroine has to escape the curse through a mystical portal.

Part of the puzzle is working out how to reach the portal. Along the way you find a sword, a door key, a speed potion and a royal crown, which ties in with the throne and the ending.
