New Eden, 1695. Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith are lovers and Banishers,
ghost-hunters who vowed to protect the living from the threat of lingering
ghosts and specters. Following a disastrous last mission, Antea is fatally
wounded, becoming one of the spirits she loathes. In the haunted wilds of North
America, the couple desperately searches for a way to liberate Antea from her
new plight.
Immerse yourself in a beautiful, intimate and powerful story between two fated
lovers. As Banishers, enter the lives of New Eden’s communities and solve
haunting cases in a mystical, lore-rich world plagued with supernatural creatures
and ancient secrets. Use your wits or combine Antea’s spiritual powers and Red’s
arsenal to defeat and banish the souls tormenting the living.
Challenging decisions will lay on your path, dramatically impacting your story
and the fate of New Eden’s inhabitants—be they living people or wandering
souls. How much will you compromise your ghost-hunting vow for the sake of
your lover who became one of such spirits?

lore-rich world
