Story Background: A Pact You Can't Refuse You wake up after a shipwreck. Around you: an unfamiliar island, wandering shades—and a slate of memory completely wiped clean. As life slips away, a figure claiming to be a "Witch" offers you a hand. Her terms are simple and brutal: > **Clear the island of all insurgents for her, and you live.** You don't know who she is, nor who you used to be. The only certainty is—**this contract is changing you, step by step.** The story of Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch revolves around: - Whether the truth of your memories is worth recovering - The boundary between obedience and resistance - If your power is given by another, are you still free? * * * ## 3. Core Gameplay: Every Move Has a Cost ### 1️⃣ Grid-based Turn Combat: Battles That Test Your Thought The game uses classic **grid-based turn combat**, but it isn't "old-fashioned." - Each unit has a clear class role and skill responsibilities - Positioning, turn order, and timing of abilities decide victory - One mistake can send the entire squad into collapse This is not a contest of raw numbers; it's a process of **making moves like chess**. * * * ### 2️⃣ Roguelite Structure: Failure Is Not the End Each descent into the island's depths is a fresh journey: - Map routes, events, and enemy combinations are procedurally generated - Power relics and perilous choices coexist - Death means starting over, but not empty-handed You will gradually learn: **Failure itself is a necessary path toward the truth.** * * * ### 3️⃣ Party Building: Define Your Tactical Identity - Multiple recruitable characters with distinct classes and combat roles - Limited party size—selection itself is a strategic decision - Skills, talents, and relics combine to shape your builds You can opt for: - Steady, defensive advances - High-risk, high-reward burst strategies - Control- and terrain-centered tactical synergies Each build is a new solution to the same problems. * * * ## 4.

Conclusion Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is not a game that prioritizes instant gratification.
