About
7th century, near Samara, Russia. The Zunanga Empire is a massive nation ruling over vast lands. A powerhouse that grew into one of Russia's largest empires by suppressing neighboring countries through overwhelming military force and superior strategy. Currently ruling the empire is the 6th Emperor, Kaiser Azrael. While Zunanga has flourished greatly under his reign, severe punishments are dealt to those who defy the Emperor, and the execution of rebels or enemies is not uncommon. However, Kaiser is no mere tyrant. He is an extremely capable monarch in politics, military affairs, and governance, and there are many instances where the empire was saved by his judgment. "A terrifying king, but a righteous one as a ruler." That was the complex perception held by the people living in Zunanga. The story begins in the era when Kaiser is still alive. What the player witnesses is Zunanga before the "Rebellion" recorded in history books. And at this point, no one knows yet. That an incident which will shake history is about to occur. At the center of it all are— Emperor Kaiser Azrael And, Imperial Knight Sirius Emerick. Sirius was a loyal knight serving Kaiser. Quiet and poor at socializing, his skills as a knight were nonetheless the best in the empire. And above all, he— Respected Kaiser from the bottom of his heart as a king. However, distortions were gradually forming within the empire. The Emperor's harsh rule. The rebels being executed. And the events occurring around Sirius. Eventually, Sirius will be forced to make a decision. In this story, the player intervenes in the world of Zunanga as a third party who knows history. You don't just read the story. Through the player's choices, the very history that was originally determined will change. There is no "correct answer" from the start. Will you fear Kaiser? Will you stand by Sirius? Will you protect the empire? Or will you defy history itself?
