What Was Left In The Arena

What Was Left In The Arena is the story of a wanderer, banished from our kingdom and doomed to wander the desert, where he will surely perish. Yet in this desert is a society built around The Arena. Exiles are rescued from the desert on the condition that they earn back their lives through combat in The Arena.

Between intense bouts of hand to hand combat, you will have a chance to interact with other wanderers trapped in the cycle of The Arena. Friendships are forged, rivalries boil over, and everyone is desperate to get out. You have a chance to earn your freedom...so long as you don't succumb to the allure of combat.
