Overview
Cedric's Quest — The Waning Ward invites players into a cel-shaded fantasy world on the brink of darkness. As Cedric, a wandering knight, you are tasked with a critical mission: the ancient seal binding the Hollow King, a powerful lich, is weakening. The three ward-stones that maintain its power have gone dark, allowing the dead to rise and the king's rot to spread across the land. Your journey will take you through diverse landscapes, from familiar villages and rolling hills to eerie autumn forests, a serene lakeside, a sandy western coast, and a desolate northern snowfield. The game emphasizes a vast, hand-built world designed in the spirit of classic JRPGs, offering a rich environment to explore.
