■ A War Between Order and Instinct Discover the continent of Ardeal, a land of beasts. Here, disciples dedicated to the goddess of light defend order, while those sworn to the goddess of shadows prize instinct. Safety for those caught their struggle is fleeting, and open war is ever on the horizon. "What is your wish?" The goddess of shadows can grant any wish, but her price is servitude. To become her disciple is to become a monstrous beast, bound to obey her every command. ■ Light and Shadow Each character has two forms. Often, they appear as human. But when they submit to the shadow, the power of their bestial self comes forth. "Which will you choose, the light or the shadow?" ■ Deduction and Intrigue A traitorous shadow has infiltrated the ranks. Now, no one can be trusted and everyone is a suspect. Experience two sides to each story: see through the eyes of those serving the light, and venture with those sworn to the shadow. Only together can the full story be told. ■ Rich Support Conversations Unlock support conversations—personal moments between characters who appear in the story—providing a glimpse into their lives. ■ Intuitive Battle System During battle, characters move on their own. Simply drag and drop to target and use your many skills. Wield an arsenal of skills including attacks, recovery spells, buffs, debuffs, and movement abilities. Keep a sharp eye on the battle and cast wisely! ■ Observe and Discover Each battle has two phases: the Sun Room and the Moon Room. In the Sun Room, three players work together to drive back the monsters. But beware! One of you is secretly a traitor. Did an ally act strangely? Whose spells hindered more than helped? Watch closely to spot the traitor. ■ A Climactic Head-to-Head Battle In the Moon Room, the traitor takes on their beast form for a final head-to-head battle against their former allies. Identifying the traitor beforehand grants added strength. But the disciple of shadow is very powerful, and if they win, their victory will be final. Successful deduction or deception swings the tide of battle! ■ Test Your Mettle Take on a unique battle system!
