About the Game

STORY

Toaka, an amnesiac who fell from the sky, is captivated by the magic of dance taught by Kobako on her mobile stage.

Toaka then remembers her mission to protect the world when murderous beings called purgers appear and attack people. She fights to carry out her purpose, but not everyone is as appreciative of her heroic deeds as she assumes!
