You play as Takumo a teenager whose life changes after meeting Pai a member of an ancient race cursed with immortality. A supernatural accident binds their fates forcing Takumo into a global quest to restore humanity while battling demonic enemies. The gameplay mixes turn-based combat with exploration across locations like Hong Kong and Mexico. Every character death triggers an instant game over making decisions in battle especially tense. The game’s most notable feature is its strict permadeath system which adds high stakes to every fight. While the story follows the manga’s lore closely fans appreciate the challenging combat and faithful adaptation of key characters. Though limited to Super Famicom the game remains a niche entry for series enthusiasts. Its blend of supernatural themes and punishing mechanics sets it apart from typical RPGs of the era.

Storyline

Takumo Fujii lives in Tokyo and enjoys a life of an average teenager: he studies in school, works as a waiter on a part-time job, hangs around with friends, and so on. But one day, he meets a mysterious girl named Pai. Pai is the sole survivor of an ancient race called "sanzhiyan". Long ago, they discovered the secret of immortality, but as a result they lost their human form, and some of them mutated into horrible demons. Pai's dream is to become human again. Yakumo's father was her trusty friend, but he died, and wished his son would continue helping Pai. At first Yakumo doesn't feel very enthusiastic about that, but through a bizarre accident his nature becomes inseparable from Pai's, and he becomes immortal himself. He has no choice but to help Pai. They travel around the world, from Hong-Kong to Mexico, seeking their lost humanity, and fighting the remains of the demonic race.
