Follow the life of Lyco, an ordinary peasant living a quiet, peaceful life in the remote village of Melov'era as he discovers a secret passage hidden beneath the village's sole tavern, The Dainty Bell: a route directly to the world's core that threatens not only the tranquillity of the village, but eventually the safety of the whole world. Forced to defend the slow, warm life that defines him, Lyco embarks on a journey into the depths below, gradually uncovering the truth about his own existence and, in doing so, the true nature of the world itself.
