Over a hundred years have passed since humanity lost the war to a strange race of beasts that they call Monsters.

But not all of humanity has surrendered completely. A small group called the warriors of Melos still fight on, inspired only by a vision of a young lady known as the 'Melody of Oblivion', remembering an almost forgotten legend that if she is found and freed, then the monsters can be defeated. |
