One day, I was reminded of a map I uploaded to this little corner of the internet sixteen years ago. It wasn’t anything grand, just the simple joy of tinkering, building a world, and calling it mine. That feeling pulled me back, and it was like riding a bike.
This is me, sixteen years later, bringing along some experiences from my field.
This is my art project, unprotected, for you all.
I hope you enjoy it.

Once a sacred refuge, the Garden now replays its final, blood-soaked day, a shattered expedition, a fallen world anchor, and the birth of an unstoppable corruption.

Will you uphold the dying order, surrender to the heart’s whispers, or break the cycle once and for all?

Use all tools at your disposal. Kill the demons... at any cost.
Breaking boundaries is both anticipated and encouraged.
THE PALADIN - Praise be the beam.
A frontline nuker wrapped in divine armor. Commands bursts of holy energy with linear devastation. Shields allies, scorches foes. Zeal grants movement to self and friend alike. Lacks agility, compensates with radiant overkill. The light is not gentle.
THE DEMONHUNTER - One is never alone.
Momentum-based skirmisher with burst speed on every move order. Fights alongside a mirror-perfect illusion. Reduces enemy hit chance, cycles mana into shields for staying power. Most lethal when the battlefield is wide and the blood runs hot.
THE RANGER - Blink. Line. Delete.
Rains death from above with precise, brutal shots. Can instantly reposition backward via Shock Shot. She lines up death from across the map; loudly. Highest mobility among all.
THE VOIDMAGE - The unraveling.
Wields the void as blade and breath. Fast-paced caster with no cooldowns and high mana cost. Banishes at will, while turning targets inside out all at once. Agile forward dash phases her from existence for 3 seconds. Void damage deals double to the banished.
Adapt on the fly : Use what you find and forge your build through randomized loots.
Explore freely : Defeating bosses advances the Garden’s phase, but there’s no set path.
Armor matters : Agility no longer increases armor. If you want to survive, you’ll need to find armor gears
Death has a price : You’ll drop all your items. Enemy AI heroes can and will take them.
Unlock camera freedom : There’s an in-game method, tied to a special artifact.
Seek the lost : 13 ghosts haunt the Garden. Some offer powerful relics.
Invaders surge early : They begin stronger and scale fast, but heroes will surpass them in the late game, if they survive that long.
And much more… the Garden keeps its secrets until you tear them out.
