How it feels

A slow-paced, tactical RPG where you methodically unlock fragmented memories while navigating a gritty, decaying cityscape.

What players say

Players call this more visual novel than strategy RPG. They praise the memory-equipping mechanic for character customization, but say battles are mind-numbingly easy and require little strategy. The story is considered compelling, though the lore can be confusing.
