  • In a kingdom known as Thornwood, the king's daughter/Princess Jessa is requesting that she can spend time in the local Shrine. The king summons Mortred, his most loyal knight, to escort her there, but unfortunately both of them disappear. Once the player starts a new game (after inputing their name and what message speed they wish for the game) and visits with king Drake and his counsel, the player is given money to equip themselves for battle, but upon returning to the palace, a mysterious figure known as Dark Sol appears out of nowhere, stating he has Jessa and will not return her until Drake hands the kingdom over to Sol and then flees. It is the player's duty (as it was their idea in the first place) to find and return Mortred (their father) and Jessa and to defeat Dark Sol.

The action is also first person in pseudo 3D, much like the dungeons games like Arcana and the first Phantasy Star I.
