Make sure this is what you intended. It starts with a young man named Wander and his horse, Agro. The two travel across the wilderness into the ruins of an ancient temple located in a beautiful but barren landscape later revealed as the Forbidden Lands. At the center of the temple is an altar where Wander lays the precious shrouded cargo Agro had been carrying— the corpse of a young princess, Mono.

Wander attracts the attention of shadowy figures he fends off with an ancient sword in his possession. From deep within the temple, a voice introduces itself as Dormin. Wander attempts to barter with Dormin, asking it to return Mono to life. Dormin says it may be possible if Wander destroys the temple's idols by killing creatures called Colossi that populate the land.

It would be possible with his relic sword, but Dormin warns Wander that he will pay a terrible price. This is the game's opening, which then sends players to slay their first Colossus. At first, Wander faces aggressive, humanoid Colossi. But each time he kills a Colossus, which are terrifying but beautiful creatures, it begins to feel increasingly wrong.

Not every Colossus proves to be hostile. Some are smaller, benevolent creatures. Wander must actively murder these peacefully grazing goliaths, and while the gameplay is incredibly satisfying, it doesn't mitigate the sensation that the player has destroyed something special.

Further accentuating this point, each time Wander slays a Colossus, dark tendrils burst from his fallen quarry and fly into him. He passes out and wakes up at Mono's altar in the temple, one more of the idols exploding to rubble before he sets off again. Regardless, Mono's meaning to Wander remains a mystery.
