Under the Shadow of Misfortune
Legend has it that this land once lay shrouded in eternal night under demonic rule, until a goddess from heaven descended as the sun to dispel the darkness and safeguard the land. The creatures of this land shattered the dome, harnessing the power of the sun to battle against demons. Following the Sacred Solar War, the demons were gradually sealed away.
Humankind improved prisms to harness sunlight more efficiently for magic, fostering a powerful civilization. Every 11 years, the capital city holds a grand Sun Festival, praying at the tower to give thanks for the goddess's enduring protection.
Now, however, a shadow of doom silently looms beneath the sun, threatening the very fate of this land. A boy and girl, raised in the snow valley of frontier, find themselves unexpectedly drawn into this fated struggle. A fragment of truth has been revealed. You will follow in their footsteps, embarking on an epic adventure to witness the final destiny of this land.
Fighting with Preset Combos
Building upon the classic turn-based combat, the game introduces an innovative combo preset system. Outside of combat, you can combine multiple skills into a single combo sequence based on your own understanding, unleashing it in one fluid motion during battles to create a torrential wave of consecutive attacks.
Each of the four playable main characters possesses distinct talents and traits. Experiment with different combo-building styles, or adapt your strategy on the fly based on the battlefield conditions and enemy weaknesses to enjoy a richly varied combat experience.
Epic Adventures and Encounters with Destiny
You will follow the footsteps of the two protagonists, Grey and Aria, setting out from the snow valley of frontier. Your journey will take you through tranquil pastoral towns, bustling royal capitals, and majestic towers.
You will face repeated crises and battles, solve diverse puzzles, become entangled in conspiracies and cruel fates, and encounter a multitude of characters. Assist them in overcoming hardships, understand their perspectives and stories—perhaps forging solid bonds and friendships, or…an unexpected betrayal.
The Final Dance Beneath the Dirge of Fate
The death knell has sounded, and fate has begun its dirge for this continent.
In this final journey, akin to a countdown, you will uncover the truth of this world, expose a long-standing conspiracy, and seek out the faint glimmer of hope beyond the cruel fate that awaits. Ultimately, you will determine the final destiny of this land and its inhabitants.
This game is made with Unreal Engine 5, contains storybook-like 2D art and exquisite 3D environments, and will immerse you in a uniquely captivating visual experience, brimming with fantasy and epic grandeur. A gripping story, accompanied by a stirring soundtrack, promises an unforgettable journey.
