A turn-based JRPG adventure awaits.
Game Overview
1. Mallow & The Street of the Fallen is an RPG developed by エンタングルメント (Entanglement) and published by Hanabi Games. The story unfolds in the Kingdom of Anatal, a land that has finally achieved peace after years of territorial disputes. Now at rest, the kingdom has become a magnet for adventurers from across the world, each seeking fortune, fame, or simply the thrill of the unknown.
2. Deep beneath the sacred mountains in the northern region—where the air itself is thick with magical energy—a massive labyrinth was discovered. The Kingdom of Anatal soon announced that this labyrinth once belonged to an ancient civilization that worshipped a primordial god. The news spread like wildfire, and adventurers flocked to Anatal eager to uncover the lost treasures and forgotten secrets still dormant within the labyrinth's depths.
3. Among these fortune-seekers are two young adventurers who step into the kingdom—our protagonists, Mallow and Theo. Mallow, a spirited young brawler, and her childhood friend Theo share a singular goal: to reach Mount Blankmont, the most dangerous mountain range in the land, said to harbor the most ferocious beasts in the northern reaches of the kingdom. Blankmont's slopes are saturated with dense magical energy, and the deeper one ventures—and the higher the altitude—the stronger the monsters become.
Story & Setting
1. The narrative of Mallow & The Street of the Fallen is driven by a compelling clash of ambitions. Mallow and Theo arrive at Blankmont seeking greater strength through combat with its legendary beasts. However, their plans are upended by the labyrinth's discovery—every inn across the kingdom is packed to capacity with adventurers. With nowhere else to go, the two are forced to seek lodging in Yulcolam, a district infamous for its lawlessness and danger.
2. The Kingdom of Anatal itself is a richly imagined setting—a realm that has traded bloodshed for bustling streets filled with travelers, merchants, and adventurers from every corner of the world. This vibrant yet volatile atmosphere serves as the perfect backdrop for Mallow's journey, where peace and peril coexist in uneasy balance. The labyrinth beneath the sacred mountains adds another layer of mystery, hinting at ancient powers and primordial gods that may not have been entirely forgotten.
3. The game's title—The Street of the Fallen—takes on deeper meaning as players explore Yulcolam's shadowy thoroughfares. This district is not merely a place; it is a crucible where the fallen, the desperate, and the daring converge. For Mallow and Theo, what begins as a simple quest for strength quickly becomes a struggle for survival in a world where ancient secrets, political turmoil, and personal ambition collide.
