About the game
While she graduated from the magic academy in the capital city of Granseria, Romina enjoys a quiet but fulfilling life as a librarian employed by the Great Royal Library. When the building has to shut down for a few months for renovations, she's offered the option to work out of town to sort through an unknown book collection... Who knows, it may contain dangerous magic books, or god forbid, even a forbidden tome! She was about to turn it down when she realized the job will take her to Fulah, a small town in the mountains where she used to live with her family when she was just a kid.
The work proceeds smoothly, until one day she actually stumbles upon a forbidden tome in the strange collection! Two creatures emerge from it, two beautiful women called Olipos and Zahal who claim to be daemons... But what are daemons? Are they related to devils, or maybe to elves? Romina has no time to even ask these question when the two steal all her magic powers and dare her to follow them if she wants it all back.
Spurred by curiosity and duty both, Romina will embark on a grand adventure while slowly growing stronger again. Her travels will take her to hunt forbidden tomes, fight powerful foes, and discover ancient mysteries. What truth awaits at the end of it all? And why does she feel so compelled to see this mission through? The answer isn't inside a dusty book, Romina, but out there! Go get it!
This game offers the comfort of classic JRPG combat and exploration with a heavier focus on gear. After being weakened by the daemons, Romina's combat capabilities won't be up to snuff for a while, but she'll slowly grow stronger again as she fights her way to her goals.
New gear will be key to solving the most difficult problems. Some of it can be found and bought, but the most powerful pieces can be found by either trading in Shining Medals—another old staple of role-playing games—or be crafted from scratch! That's right, the game even has a crafting system. Find the materials out in the field, then fuse them together to create powerful weapons!
Daunting bosses will block your path, but you'll be able to overcome all challenges with the right combination of spells and gear. Persevere, and find the truth at the end of the journey!
Fleshed-out JRPG Combat:
Enjoy a balanced single-party adventure. Take Romina through the many areas, level her up, learn new skills and equip new gear to overcome all obstacles. Some bosses may leave you stumped at first, but the key to solve the problem could be right around the corner! Maybe someone in a bunny costume will be able to give you a hint...
Gear and Crafting:
While leveling is important, keeping your items stocked and your gear updated is just as important. Invest your hard-earned money to gain an edge in combat, and even craft new powerful magic books by fusing together relics found around the world!
Modern Story, Ancient Lore:
The author painted a rich canvas to create this world, and Romina's is only one of the many stories that take place in it. Discover ancient truths about the world, the races that inhabit it, and the power struggles that define their rivalries.
