Create your own anime hero from billions of possible combinations and take them on a classic turn-based JRPG adventure. Explore hand-designed puzzle dungeons, discover hidden secrets, and uncover the truth behind the Demon Lord.
Long-sealed evil stirs again.
A new generation of heroes sets out to uncover the secrets left behind by those who came before.
Long ago, the heroes who stood against the world's greatest threat could only seal away the Dark Demon Lord.
But the truth behind that battle was never revealed.
As darkness rises once more, a new generation of heroes begins their journey.
The deeper you venture, the closer you come to a secret that changes everything you thought you knew.

Discover the key features that shape your adventure.

Public-domain classical pieces are also used in select scenes, chosen to resonate with the story and characters.
