Beneath the waves the bodies float. Silently drifting towards the shore. Drawn by a prophecy that soon they shall become. A crumbling tower rises before them. Strange lights burning within. One final effort and then no more. One final no more.

Tower of Silence is set on a bleak and wintry coast far beyond the edges of any map known to man. The walls of a gigantic tower have crumbled into the icy waters and formed a rugged pile of debris leading up to the ruined remains.

Players take on the roles of shipwrecked souls washing ashore in a state of almost complete hopelessness. They must crawl up the shifting rocks and boulders searching for wreckage, facing dangers, and fighting off their fellow souls.

Their ultimate goal is to reach the tower and consign themselves to the strange lights that burn within. Only then will the final prophecy be spoken.
