Mai Toyama arrives at the secluded town of Le Choara to search for her missing sister, who was last seen at a girls’ dormitory. As she meets the residents, Mai uncovers clues to the town’s past and the dangers hidden beneath its quiet surface.
The game alternates between daytime story scenes and nighttime exploration. By day, talk with townspeople and dorm residents to gather information; after dark, explore hostile areas and face the creatures that roam the town.
Combat is turn-based, with three actions available per character’s turn and attacks that can knock enemies into walls or other combatants for chained hits. Deal damage beyond an enemy’s remaining health for bonus experience, and watch for the Berserker, whose attacks can instantly defeat a character.
Player reviews are mixed. Some appreciate the dark mystery, horror atmosphere, character art, and tactical knockback combos, while others find the story weaker or slow to unfold. Several also criticize repetitive dialogue or exploration and uneven enemy difficulty.
