Based on the story of the creation of Japan by Izanagi and Izanami in the oldest historical record of Japan, this epic fantasy RPG will take you to the heavens called Takamagahara, Ame-no-ukihashi (bridge connecting heaven and earth), Yomi (land of the dead), and more. =================================== Features: =================================== Making the beginning of Japanese mythology into a game. Lavish dialogue scenes bring the story to life. The main characters' dialogue is fully voiced. Retro JRPG。 =================================== Story: =================================== Long before the story in the Yuya Chapter was the age of the gods and the genesis of heaven and earth. Kotoamatsukami, who ruled over Takamagahara—the land of the gods—subdued the boundless chaos and forged the sacred spear "Amenonuhoko" to turn the chaos into land on earth. However, monsters suddenly appeared in Takamagahara and stole many sacred treasures, including the Amenonuhoko. Kotoamatsukami orders Izanagi and Izanami, the last of the seven generations of primordial deities, to recover the stolen sacred treasures. Through the fierce battles with the monsters, Izanagi and Izanami enhanced their mutual trust and began to dream of creating their ideal heaven on earth. This Episode 0: Age of the Gods is the prequel to Yuya's "Island of Origin." What future will Izanagi and Izanami choose when their journey ends in a soul-wrenching separation? A story about divine bravery and their love-hate relationship begins. =================================== Character voices: =================================== In the base game, the main characters' dialogue is fully voiced. As the game contains over 1500 words of voiced dialogue in total, the files containing the voices are very large. For this reason, when you are installing the game for the first time, it is recommended that you use Wi-Fi to download it. Please be aware that depending on your connection, it may take approximately 3-5 minutes to download the game. Voice Actors Izanagi: Kazuyuki Okitsu Izanami: Takako Tanaka =================================== In-app purchases.: =================================== You can purchase paid items by pressing the "Purchase" button in the main menu.
