About

You play as Hyde, a wanderer searching for remnants of a bygone civilization powered by spirit-given magic. This visual novel/RPG mixes narrative choices with dungeon crawling as you explore ruins, collect items, and face enemies in turn-based combat. The story unfolds through branching paths influenced by your interactions with Arville's residents and the mysterious girl tied to the lost world's secrets. With around 800 collectible items and difficulty modes that boost enemy strength, the game offers strong replayability. Developer notes mention a two-year creation process, and community reports highlight the contrast between the Dreamcast port's all-ages approach and the later DVD edition's expanded content. The game’s layered mysteries and character dynamics have kept it in discussion among niche RPG circles over two decades after release.
