Source-derived summary

Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal (TAO魔物の塔と魔法卵, Tao: Mamono no Tō to Mahō no Tamago; Tao: The Goblin's Tower and the Magical Egg) is a Nintendo DS video game developed by Konami.

Story

The game revolves around a boy named Tao from the island of Bente, who must travel to Mondominio to get a rare monster egg from the monster tower. The seal from the tower has been broken, and monsters have turned all the people of his village into stone. Tao meets a creature named Petcho, who calls himself an "Elite Monster" and follows the main character throughout the game.

The game is a sequel to Azure Dreams, which was released 8 years earlier.

Gameplay

Tao's Adventure follows a very straightforward dungeon-combat system. The majority of the game is spent in the Monster Tower, which consists of 40 floors. Tao ventures through these floors, finding monster eggs and monsters as he goes. While Tao can move free range normally, once an enemy is in sight the game changes its movement system. From here, every action uses 1 turn.

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 180-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2005-12-22. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Tao's, Adventure and Curse providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal”, the useful work is to connect “2005 video game” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7684211. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
