The third installation of Sting's ''[[Dept Heaven]]'' cycle--confusingly designated "Episode IV" and chronologically placed between ''[[Yggdra Union]]'' and ''[[Riviera: theThe Promised Land|Riviera]]''--and released for the Nintendo DS, ''Knights in the Nightmare'' tells the story of a mortal kingdom suffering a sudden influx of demons, which have killed most of the realm's knightly defenders. Compounding matters, the good King Wilmgard has vanished, and his political opponents seem to consider this a wonderful time to make their moves.
 
The player controls a disembodied spirit called the Wisp, brought (back?) into the world by a mysterious armored woman named Maria. The Wisp must recruit the souls of the dead knights, combat the demons, and piece together what precisely is happening to this world.
