◆A new work of "Legacy" and "Evolution" dedicated to all JRPG fans
This is a brand-new JRPG featuring a dramatic story presented from an overhead perspective. It incorporates unique systems like "Wisdom of Legacy" and "Predicting the Future" into traditional JRPG elements such as turn-based combat.

Wade can read the thoughts and memories of past owners embedded in objects, inheriting their "Professions" and "Skills."
Flexibly combine various skills and professions to create a combat style that suits your preferences.
◆Combat: "Predicting the Future" to change the predetermined outcome
During battle, enemy action timing and results are displayed in real-time each turn.
Whether defending against attacks or preemptively disrupting opponents' actions, you can alter the predetermined future through your chosen commands.
◆Story: "Changing the Past" that connects the history of two eras
Shirato, a false paradise. Here, striving for a better future is a grave crime.
Branded as a heretic and hunted, the protagonist Wade resolutely heads toward the forbidden sea in search of an unknown world.
