Blade Lantern Studios is a new team formed by the content producer of “Gemstone Story 2: Blood Ties” and the lead artist of the “Gemstone Story” series.

Focusing on “storytelling,” they present players with a beautiful yet dark, blood-soaked adventure.

Game Introduction

Forsaker : DingDing&Blade is a visual novel/roguelike hybrid

A simple mission, a blood-stained journey, a game of mutual devouring. In this vast hunting ground, you may be a human as weak as an ant, a knight bathing in blood, or a Forsaker who feasts on humans. You eat others, and you are eaten. You struggle with all your might to survive, only to find that your fate is ultimately controlled by someone else. Make your choice: embrace the world, or… forsaker it.
