She bonds with a curious creature called the Keeper in the outer forest who needs her help. Emi must recover pieces of an ancient device to save the archives of human history before the Keeper's exhausted life comes to an end. Time will tell if her actions bring the dawn of a new era or reveal the most dangerous thing of all, the truth. KEY FEATURES -Explore a rich and beautiful immersive world with a forgotten past and collect clues to its origins. -Stealth through guarded areas and outwit your foes while wielding powerful abilities and using the environment to your advantage. -Experience a touching tale of companionship told through two characters with no one left to turn to but each other.

Keeper and the Soldier is about a little girl named Emi, who is born into a world consumed by centuries of war and conflict. Everyone is given a job at birth, and job Emi’s will be to become a soldier. But Emi is curious and likes to explore the city where she lives, including where she is not allowed to go. She meets a mysterious creature called The Keeper, a relic from the past with a vast amount of knowledge as to what life was like before the war. This is fascinating to Emi, the Keeper is like nothing she has ever seen before. Emi and the Keeper go on a journey to rediscover the lost history of the world. On the way they find the most dangerous thing of all. The Truth. This game stemmed from a personal project that our project lead started in 2009, which was a collection of characters, story, and artwork relating to her efforts in making sense of and coming to terms with her experiences with child abuse. Keeper and the Soldier uses symbolism and fantasy to the tales of a young girl's struggles; inspired by real ordeals. Our team is a strong supporter against child abuse and neglect, and we hope to contribute to and plan future charitable/awareness events towards this cause.
