[B]Gameplay, story, graphics, and even music all united into one cohesive and highly dimensional Shoot-em-up![/B]
The world was long ago split in two by the sudden collapse of an advanced civilization and the destruction of the ancient and powerful core mechanism that reigned over it it.
GRAVEYARD
A band of those who have great stake in the remains, studiers of the various surviving artifacts of the lost civilization.
Each member's fate was once connected to the remains in some way.
EXECUTORS
Watchers that live only in obsession. An obsession to sever the fate they are bonded by.
Agents who exist as "Those who must go to the place they are meant to go".
The ceaseless echos of a severed past.
Their devotion is a torch that renders through the darkness and guides them toward their final duty.
The ruins to which they are all bound to by fate...have yet again appeared on the surface world.
DEAD LIAR
The longest living member of the Graveyard survivors.
Standard.Specializes in cooperative tactics with his Misteltoe, Tobari-Maru.
His narrow range of attack makes him enviable to delicate and precise operations,
But he packs an equally worthy level of firepower.
FOSSIL MAIDEN
A female of great latent ability, but whose blindness and poor physical health make her reliant on the support of her Misteltoe.
Effective mainly at subjugating spaces with her wide area of attack, she is also capable of highly powerful single shot attacks.
MINOGAME
An androgynous android deity created by a mysterious religious organization long ago.
Their main shot is rather simple , but their innate defensive capabilities and wide AOE attack excel at handling large numbers of targets.
Utilize a plethora of unique skills to attack and maneuver through long intense stages!
How you chose to master each character's strengths and weaknesses will be the key to victory.
Whether you take your enemies head on, play it slow and steady, or hit them with precision from a distance...Each play style possesses inherent merits, and inherent faults.
Adaptive on-the-fly strategy and an awareness of your position and targets will also be critical to success.
8+ stages that change in form and intensity in real time as you progress.
3 characters + a bonus character each with drastically differing play styles to explore.
Replay function and Boss fight selection mode.

I have been obsessed with this game artistically for the past few months now, especially the music as it really scratches a certain itch I had for years. This game has changed my outlook on life in a small but significant scale and I'm thankful I came across it when I did. Keep your dignity.
somehow one of the most accessible shmups ive had the pleasure to play, despite its complete obliqueness. willing to keep up a conversation with the player throughout. there is so much game in this game please sink in hell
Once you get past the initial hurdle that's the steep learning curve right at the beginning (reading the manual/a guide is practically mandatory), it becomes one of the most enjoyable and rewarding STGs of all time. A true masterpiece.
this game is like when yo trans hoe yaps about physics or any queer person explains sh like that
感谢某位朋友给我赠送了这份游戏,让我尝试到了这部作品。 36h已达成全程1cc 2Miss,54h达成全人形机通关及全成就。 总的来说是不可多得的神作,在我心目中就是和《Bullet Hell Monday》排在同位的游戏 。 如果可以的话,希望自己有朝一日能真正在这个游戏的排行榜上留名吧。 那么: “愿您在尊严与荣誉之下,给予所有人真正的解放。”
完璧と呼ぶに相応しいSTG。 敷居こそ高いものの、ゲームシステムをすべて理解した際の盤面の全てを自身の支配下に置いたような快感は本作ならでは。 さらに奥の深いゲーム性は難解ながら綿密に組み上げられた世界観・ストーリーと共鳴し合い、STGでありながら一つの芸術作品として完成された一作として仕上がっている。 本当に敷居は高いのだけれど、本作の魅力は自分で遊んで初めて分かるものであるため、是非とも手に取って遊んでいただきたい。
One of the coolest games I've played, it has a bit of a learning curve at the start with how odd the UI and some of the mechanics can be, but once things start to click it feels incredible.
absolutely incredible. one of the greatest shmups to ever do it. it is absolutely going to kick your ass but its worth it, this game's a legend for a good reason
genuinely phenomenal game.
yeah, im not gonna waste my time on this lmao. screen size wasn't working except in tiny window mode, and then asking me to read a novel with the worst font possible before even playing is pretty lame, and finally, it requires me to go into steam big picture mode which then throws my programs over to my second monitor like what the heck is this game doing.
