About this game

A 2005 PS2 game from Sony's Japan Studio with sixteen enemies in it and nothing else. There are no small monsters, no towns and nobody to talk to. You ride out across an empty country on a horse called Agro, find something the size of a cathedral, and work out where it can be climbed. That is the whole game. You grab handfuls of fur while it tries to shake you off, and a stamina bar decides how long you can hold on. The riding between fights is not filler, because arriving at something that size after a long ride across empty country is most of the effect.
