***Unsung Story*** is a tactical role playing game released into early access by Little Orbit with designs by Yasumi Matsuno, a developer known for Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII, Vagrant Story, and creating the Ogre Battle series.

***Unsung Story*** takes place in a medieval fantasy world where spells are cast as songs, and magic can reshape reality. With the threat of such power, the original shapers created a way to stabilize the world. Since the beginning of time, History has been sung and recorded in magical schools around the world.The game opens at the end of a 77-Year War. We follow a squad of aging heroes as they are given a covert mission: to infiltrate the archive of a nearby school and cast a legendary spell that may turn the tide of the conflict.
Unsung Story is Yasumi Matsuno’s spiritual successor to Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story with many exciting innovations. In a world where spells are cast as songs, and magic can reshape reality. The original shapers created a way to sing history and store it in the grand Opus to stabilize the land. But now, the 77-Year War has come, and evil has won. Players start at the final battle, and work their way back in time to save the world.
