In the game, players assume the role of the last surviving descendant of the White Priestess, Lily, who wakes up in a church with no recollection of recent events. In her quest to seek out the source of the perpetual rain and put an end to it, Lily steps out into the dangerous world filled with lurking zombie monsters everywhere. 

Because Lily is a small, young, and innocent girl, she has no offensive powers. However, she possesses purifying abilities and is guarded by the purified spirit of a knight who protects her through all dangers. In the game, players can widen their arsenal of guardian spirits by first defeating and then purifying evil spirits who then join and assist them in their journey.

As such, Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights takes players on an epic adventure, and, depending on a player’s actions, there are 3 possible endings. Will you be able to find the source of the never-ending rainfall?
