The game is set within modern day Tokyo, Japan, alongside a world on another planet, called “Protolexa.” There are a dozen young protagonists, all of whom are evil, soul-collecting gods who have become embroiled in the issues of all gods. The main focus of the game is dungeon crawling. You’ll be able to explore dungeons from a side-view perspective, while the characters are presented in a 3D, chibi-sized style. The characters can use various skills like jumping, dashing, and more to solve puzzles. The enemies are not randomized, they are presented on screen prior to battle.
Twelve young people living in modern-day Tokyo are caught in a sudden, deadly explosion, only to awaken with their souls bound to a mysterious fantasy world called Protolexa. Cast onto this strange planet on "the other side of the sky," the group discovers they have been drawn into a struggle far greater than themselves. Together they must survive, uncover the truth behind their deaths and their new existence, and find a way through the perils of Protolexa, with the bonds they form along the way shaping their fate.
