A land of new adventure, Occulm Island is a mining island that once had a major gold rush!

In search of a way to build metal objects, the protagonist heads for the new island of Occulm. Although its surface is covered in dry sand, it is said that below the island a bounty of ores such as gold and silver can be mined, and that it once flourished due to a gold rush.
