MG3K: Await the Neutral Hour Anthology

Terrapyre warriors rule the night. Celestial knights command the day. For one hour, at dawn and dusk, they clash. The clan that retrieves the Grail and unlocks a Portal will control reality.

It began as an addictive CCG with a haunting atmosphere and lush, intelligent back story, but unique and introspective game designer E.J. Angel and players everywhere changed MG3K into something far more.
