In the distant past, the Demon King who nearly destroyed the entire world was sealed away by the legendary hero, and the demons were driven to the edges of civilization. As time went on, people slowly forgot about the agony and suffering during that period. One day, the dormant demons suddenly reappeared and marched toward the prosperous Royal City where the protection circles resided.

In the face of an onslaught from demonic legions, the player takes the role of a skilled artisan from Holme to lead the heroic citizens of the kingdom in defending their homeland. The player must combine their wits with a variety of traps to hold the kingdom's last line of defense.
