Dark Savior

Dark Savior follows Garian, a bounty hunter tasked with escorting the monster Bilan to a prison island. When Bilan escapes aboard the ship, Garian must pursue him before he reaches the captain’s cabin.

The story branches into three scenarios, known as Parallels, based on the time needed to reach the cabin. Taking more than four minutes leads to Parallel I, three to four minutes leads to Parallel II, and less than three minutes leads to Parallel III. Each path presents a different turn in Bilan’s escape and Garian’s investigation.

Gameplay combines 3D exploration with platforming, puzzle-solving, and battles resembling those of a fighting game. The view shifts to an isometric perspective when combat begins.
