About
Read the novel. Judge the map. Break the enemy's law with cards. A single-player card RPG in twenty chapters.
■ You cannot win by draining HP alone
Major bosses follow their own laws. Spam the same card and it learns, halving your damage. Read its intent, choose between guard, counter, stance-break, rewrite and sacrifice, and satisfy the victory clauses in order. You win by procedure, not by numbers.
■ The same journey, fought differently
You may take at most two growth paths: Bellward (defense), Ashbreaker (breaking), Memory Scribe (rewriting). What you decline matters as much as what you take, chapters later.
■ Prose changes the right answer on the map
Each chapter gives you a town with finite resources and a choice: detour or go straight. Testimony you read opens hidden routes; the preparation you buy changes how the boss fights. Story and strategy run on one line, not two.
■ Twenty chapters, three endings
From Chapter 1, "The Bell That Burned the Dawn," to the last, twenty chapters share one history. In the final chapter you choose three meanings from the previous nineteen and face the oldest protagonist, reaching Written Peace, Ash Freedom, or Unwritten Dawn. You can revisit your permanent choice and see another ending.
■ Also a book
Each chapter opens with original prose, included in full. Adjust text size, line spacing and color, keep a bookmark, and step straight from the page into the chapter. All twenty chapters are included in both English and Japanese.
■ Music with an enemy identity
Eighteen original tracks, each written with a different meter, mode and instrumentation for its enemy.
■ Buy it once
