## Description
A girl named Kukuru lives in a village controlled by the Sacred Tribe – people
who guard an ancient flame which contains a powerful spirit that was sealed in
it many years ago. Kukuru must marry a man she doesn’t love, and in order to
avoid this marriage, she accepts the offer of the mayor: he asks her to
extinguish the flame. As a result, the spirit awakes and threatens to destroy
the world. A young adventurer named Arc arrives to the village at the same
moment as Kukuru is standing frightened in front of the spirit. Arc
immediately recognizes it – it was the murderer of his father! Before he
realizes how that could be possible, the spirit disappears, and now Arc and
Kukuru have to do everything in their powers to undo the error, to stop the
spirit, and perhaps to avenge the death of Arc’s father.
_Arc the Lad_ is a hybrid of traditional and strategy-based Japanese-style
RPGs. The story unfolds as you are transported from location to location and
enter battles – you don’t walk around on the world map, choosing yourself
which location to visit. The battles take place on a battle field, on which
you can move and attack only when you approach the opponent.
