Having barely escaped with her life after being attacked by shadowy monsters, Kozue, and the woman who helped save her decide to team up to investigate the creatures and their connection to reports of mysterious disappearances around town.
The game features a unique turn-based battle system with a "Knock Down" mechanic. When players land a critical hit or attack an enemy's weakness, it knocks the target down and grants the attacking character an extra turn. This encourages players to carefully analyze enemy weaknesses and coordinate their party's abilities to gain strategic advantages in combat. Additionally, the "Bonus Turn" system rewards players for exploiting enemy vulnerabilities, allowing them to chain multiple actions in a single turn. These combat mechanics add depth and meaningful decision-making to the otherwise standard turn-based RPG formula.
Outside of battles, the game presents players with a calendar-based schedule, where each day is divided into 2-3 time slots. These slots can be used for a variety of activities, such as studying to improve stats, training to learn new skills, exploring the town and interacting with NPCs, or investigating dungeons and battling enemies. Effectively balancing these daily activities is crucial, as failing to complete certain story-driven events, like defeating monthly boss encounters, can lead to negative consequences. This time management system adds an engaging layer of strategy and resource management to the overall gameplay experience.
Dungeon exploration is a core component of the gameplay loop. The story regularly introduces new dungeons for the player to clear, each with a powerful boss at the end. Successfully defeating these bosses is required to progress the narrative. The dungeons themselves feature a variety of enemy encounters, environmental puzzles, and hidden treasures to discover, providing a sense of exploration and discovery that complements the combat-focused gameplay.
The game offers replayability through its New Game+ mode, which allows players to carry over their character progress and revisit the story with new opportunities and events. This encourages players to experiment with different strategies and explore alternate paths, further extending the game's lifespan.
