The Human World - is a world suffering, sadism, faith, and imprisonment. Bodies fall from an unknown source through a gaping hole, the only thing marking the passing is the fluttering of clothes in their wake. People imprisoned by a warden who found his end with the assistance of a knife... and a name, Apollos -- a name, written in the blood of a man who saw his comrades turn on one another.
The Human World -- are we sure the slims and Acid Heads slithering around were the real monsters?

![Age of Ancients: Shadow Tower: Abyss: Episode 0 (Prologue)
Shadow Tower: Abyss (2003), one of my personal favorites in the FromSoftware canon, has a history about as twisted as the tree-roots jutting up from the ground. The reboot to the Shadow Tower (1999) was announced at the dawn of the Playstation 2 life-cycle and apparently delayed to 2003. Slated to be released by AGETEC it was cancelled last minute by Sony Computer Entertainment America in a move that will be eerily similar to what would be the story to Demons Souls. Unlike Demons Souls, however, Shadow Tower:Abyss remained a curio until a fan-translation made the game playable internationally eight years after its release.
Well go over all of that and more, in preparation for our Lets Play for one of FromSoftwares best from Generation Six.
