The story begins in a tiny fishing village nestled within a peaceful island—.
The adventure begins on Estard Island, floating in the middle of the sea. The protagonist, raised in a tiny fishing village, plots to solve the mystery of the world alongside Kiefer, his best friend and the prince of Estard. The two head toward an ancient shrine located within the island’s Forbidden Place…
—Accept your mother’s request first when you start the game. After helping her, head outside, then toward Estard Castle with your childhood friend Maribel!
—You can obtain hints and advice for your adventure by talking to your companions, so be sure to engage with them actively.
—At the castle, Prince Kiefer will share how he found an ancient tome and a mysterious fragment of a stone tablet. The two of you decide to meet at the shrine mentioned in the ancient book…
—You can confirm objectives on the map during your adventure. If you’re ever lost, try heading to the location with the “!” marker.
—After you arrive at the shrine and present the fragment to a statue that looks just like the picture in the ancient tome, a strange voice reverberates…
—Kiefer is thrilled to discover that the key to unraveling the world’s mysteries is right here. Now it’s time to explore across the island to find what the statue seeks!
—The island townsfolk possess various information. Survey and interact with them while rotating the camera.
—You won’t be able to proceed in certain situations unless you first solve a puzzle. Uncover solutions by pushing or pulling objects.
—Monsters that shouldn’t exist in this world attack you! Team up with Kiefer to fend them off! Recover with a medicinal herb whenever HP gets low.
—Once you fulfill the statue’s enigmatic request and return to the shrine, its sealed gates will open! Maribel, who’d followed you both, joins the team, and the three of you step inside…
—When you assemble the fragments of the stone tablet on a pedestal in the shrine, a dazzling light engulfs you. What will await you on the other side of this beacon of light…!?
A path to another world paved by simple curiosity—it’s now time to embark on a grand adventure unravelling the world’s hidden secrets!
