The world you see is just a shadow—a thin membrane called "The Veil" stretched over an ancient magical realm: Velum. Every mundane object around you is an "Echo," a dormant projection of a powerful magic relic. Equip your device, look through the Veil, and step into the shoes of an Echo Hunter! ◆ SCAN THE REAL WORLD WITH YOUR CAMERA Point your camera at anything—your coffee cup, your smartphone, your keys, or even your friends! Our advanced AI Appraiser (Gemini) will instantly analyze the object and reveal its true form, status, and historical background in Velum. ◆ EPIC STORIES WITH LAUGHABLE REVEALS Hear the grand narrative of how your "plastic umbrella" was once the "Dragon-Piercing Lance of the Third Guild War"—only to find out the Guild's official rating is... N (Normal)! Enjoy the gap-humor of epic lore and terrible stats, and share the results with your friends! ◆ BECOME A LEGENDARY ECHO HUNTER Complete appraisals to restore the lost pages of the "Grand Ledger." Uncover the historical Chronicles of Velum, collect legendary items, and earn cryptic titles as you explore the world. Are you ready to see what your room is actually made of?
