Game Overview

Elevator pitch

A stylish anime action RPG where you dive into reality-tears left by a shattered moon, fight crystal monsters, and bind the spirits of fallen heroes to remix your fighting style.

Tone Hopeful and adventurous, with melancholy moments. Think classic shōnen energy with bittersweet stories
Audience Teens and adults who like action RPGs, anime aesthetics and collecting

Session length 15–45 minutes (one Rift run plus a hub visit)
Total playtime Main story about 30 h; completion about 80 h+

What makes it different

  1. Echo remixing. You equip one Lead Echo and two Support Echoes. Their skills combine into Resonance Links, unique bonus effects for specific pairs. With 40+ Echoes that gives hundreds of builds.
  2. The moon is the clock. An 8-phase Moon cycle (one full cycle every 4 in-game days) changes which Rifts open, what spawns, and which Aspects are empowered. Players plan around the sky.
  3. Rifts bloom over time. An uncleared Rift slowly blooms. It gets harder, but its rewards get better. Clear it early for safety or let it grow for loot.
  4. No gacha, no stamina timers. Everything is earned through play.
