You play as the Timekeeper, traveling through eras altered by the Storm, a catastrophe that reverses time. With allies, you seek out Arcanists who can sense the Storm and try to save them from being erased from the timeline.
The adventure unfolds through story chapters in a visual-novel format, with illustrated scenes, dialogue, and character-focused stories. Its alternate-history settings span different periods and places across the 20th century as the mystery of the Storm develops.
Between story chapters, build and upgrade a roster of characters for turn-based battles. Each character contributes skill cards that you arrange and can combine for stronger effects, with team choices and ability synergies shaping your tactics. Events add side stories, battles, and other activities.
Players commonly praise the story and character writing, distinctive artwork, and voice performances, often describing the experience as a visual novel with tactical battles. Reviews also appreciate the varied character designs and approachable daily play, while some find combat repetitive or later character-building and endgame challenges demanding.
On the last day of 1999, the "Storm" fell upon the world. You witnessed an era reversed beneath the rising raindrops. Defying all reasons, what unfolds in front of you is the world of an era long past.
As the Timekeeper, observer of eras, you are free to travel through these eras after each "Storm." With the aid of Sonetto, a powerful Arcanist and ally from the Foundation, your mission is to travel through eras to where the "Storm" is most active, find other Arcanists who can sense the coming "Storm," and save them from being "sifted out" of the timeline.
