”Good morning... Nice to meet you, I guess.' This is a metroidvania where you interact with characters in an apocalyptic world and fight mechanical creatures that remain in mysterious ruins. The bustling era has passed, and Earth has entered the twilight. People are now leading modest yet peaceful lives on the remaining lands. On a certain island, a being called Witch used her magical powers to help the people in the town. And you will discover the world's mysteries as you land on the island and explore it. ■Feature■ ・Apocalyptic world depicted by various techniques The neon-lit cityscape, the deserted coastline—these transparent and beautiful maps are expressed in pixel art. While the characters are depicted in delicate pixel style on the map and in illustrations during conversation. Of course, the enemies are all rendered in pixel art too. Let's explore this pixelated world of metroidvania. ・Charming girls living in the island You are going to meet numerous charming female characters, such as Witch, a mysterious woman who help you in various ways despite lacking emotional expression. There's also Mayor, who manage the island with compassion and kindness, and Mogura, who runs a junk shop with her sister and has an eye for treasures that could be used as crafting materials. ・Explore ruins with lantern In the ruins, junk creatures are still operational, making it dangerous to enter unprotected. Use the lantern received from Witch to protect yourself from dangers and obtain various treasure that lie deep within the ruins. ・Customize your lantern Lantern can be customized using parts found within the town or in the ruins. Combine various parts with different stats freely to upgrade lantern to your preferences. ・Artifacts that are key to exploration By handing over materials found in ruins to Witch, she will create artifacts that will aid you in your exploration. Use these artifacts to expand your search and venture deeper into the ruins. ・Utilizing special weapons in battle At the town's junk shop, you can create and upgrade special weapons using materials found in the ruins. Utilize different special weapons to gain upper hand against formidable enemies. ・Various subquests From time to time, townspeople may ask you to help them find something. If you deliver an item you found in the ruins, you might receive a reward in return.
