Note: this game is a sequel to Sable's Grimoire

However, this game also contains an option to add supplementary narration which explains events and terminology from the first game. There are also glossary and character screens which you can visit at any time. So while it is still recommended that you play the original first, it is not strictly required.

With Sable's first year at Amadronia coming to an end, he wants nothing more than to spend the upcoming break at the academy, studying in peace while his friends and classmates head home for the holidays.

However, his half-dragon best friend and roommate, Drakan, has other plans in store for him. She has been trying to get him to visit her home for months now, and with a sizeable break right before around the corner, that time has finally come.

Before the duo can set off, a surprise visit from Drakan's mother, Nidhogg, gives them reason to pause. Holding an ominous necklace in her hand, she forces the seemingly cursed artifact onto Sable, then sets him up with one trial after another.

Dragged to either extreme by these two frightfully powerful beings, will Sable manage to survive the holidays in one piece?
