■ System
Feelings of Guilt: The Weight of Karma
The spirits you fight in limbo were originally human. If you kill them, their heartrending outcries will cling to you. These agonies of death never disappear, even when Rei returns to reality, and will torture her heart.
Catharsis: Cry to Become Stronger
By crying by yourself while thinking about the last moments of the souls you have defeated, you can purify their agonies of death. By overcoming the karma weighing you down, you can grow mentally and produce “Ideas” that can be equipped in limbo.
When attacking or receiving damage, your “Tear Gauge” will rise. When it reaches its MAX, you can cry. While crying, you are in an awakened state and your “Guardian” is manifested. While a Guardian is manifested, the character’s power is fully unlocked, enabling the use of special moves and more.
Guardians
A Guardian is the manifestation of an Agent’s “Idea.” Guardians perform actions such as automatically counterattacking and defending their Agent when attacked by an enemy. The closer the Agent is to death, the stronger the Guardian will become, and the lower the Agent’s HP, the higher the probability of manifestation.
Four Playable Characters
Rei Hatada
Weapon: One-Handed Sword
Style: All Rounder Type
Guardian: Heraclitus
An all rounder-type who uses a one-handed sword Idea, which she is able to handle easily and instinctively. On average, her attack power is high, but her physical strength is low.
Kokoro Fudoji
Weapon: Knuckles
Style: Power Type
Guardian: Diogenes
A power-type who uses a kunckle Idea. While her combo number is low, her single hit damage is high. However, since her attack range is low, she is weak when it comes to fighting several enemies at once.
Sen Megumiba
Weapon: Two-Handed Sword
Style: High-Speed Consecutive Attack Type
Guardian: Socrates
A high-speed consecutive attack type who uses a two-handed sword Idea. Her single hit damage is low, but using one move after the next is where she excels. When she joins the party, her stats are high, but her level up growth is slow.
