Legend of the Ghost Lion — About this game
Maria follows the mystery of a white lion after her parents disappear, entering a journey through caves, settlements, and unfamiliar lands. Ghost Lion gives familiar RPG ideas unusual names: Courage is her health, Dreams fuel her summons, and Hope measures her level. Finding Fragments of Hope, rather than repeatedly fighting for experience, is the key to growing stronger. Battles let you use carried tools or call spirits with different strengths, from fighting and guarding to casting spells. Fairy Springs provide a place to recover and record progress. Exploring thoroughly and choosing the right companions matter as much as surviving the next encounter.
