In this tragic, dark fantasy visual novel, you play as Tasuku, a young warrior training with the other warriors who have sworn their lives to defending all humanity against the horrific monsters that will one day rise again to exterminate the populace. When the return of the Dark Reign comes early, you must take up arms and fulfill your oath. Empowered by magic fueled by the strength of the bond between you and your chosen comrade-in-arms, it is up to you and your lover to stop the resurgence of monsters — no matter the cost. Tasuku and his fellow warriors face the "hollows" — horrendous monsters whose very touch can corrupt foes and quickly render them to ash. Tasuku and his fellow warriors have mastered the art of using magic to stave off corruption, enhance their prowess, and heal from battle — but the strength of said magic relies on the bonds cultivated between partners. Even though their odds of personal survival are grim, that won't stop Tasuku from finding hope and love with one of his four potential partners. Penned by Kurashiki Tatsuya, writer for Maggot Baits and DEAD DAYS, the tale of L.k.y.t is full of deeply emotional moments and realistic struggles as it delves into the heart of what it means to regularly risk one's life for the sake of others.
