Your personality, which wears a flowing eurality and a golden mask, rides the orange hills and blue waves with the same easy sports, and immediately interact with all inputs on the console.

There are no freedom points in Sea swordBut the environment tells a clear story, which invites you to solve puzzles in the mysterious temples that are divided into the scene. Look for the glowing celestial bodies on the roofs of the homes and hide the secret corridors to cancel the security secrets, and open new areas.
