Worldview
A world of only “white” and “black” where swords and magic hold power. During the time of the Ancient Empire, the Demon King was sealed away by a summoned “hero” from another world.
However, the seal was not complete, and it must be resealed every 200 years. The “Clan of the Sealers” who govern this periodically summon the hero.
And when it is time for the resealing for the umpteenth time, “you” are summoned from another world. This is the story of an adventure in the “Archipelago of Ruins” where the Demon King sleeps.
What kind of game is it?
- A hack-and-slash RPG with a high degree of build freedom that lets you explore and fight while swimming through a random sea!
- Various power-ups from the popular “QUESTER” system! (Not only layer turn battles, but also class changes, skill panels, bounties, and more)
- A happy and embarrassing adventurer’s life full of discoveries in the only town in the ruins archipelago!
- The fun of developing the map as you explore bit by bit!
- Unique weapons and equipment discovered randomly have skills, and combining them is tactical!
- You can choose the party of your choice and go on an adventure! (Early access version has 2 parties)
