Aladdin is a thief and adventurer who was found near the border of the Forsaken Lands. Forced to become a prisoner, he is joined by Inaya, a cloaked woman with a hidden past, and Altair, a guardsman who watches over yet cares for the prisoners in his stewardship. However, when the group discovers a strange woman named Sena, Aladdin's goal of escaping servitude begins to evolve into something grander...

When resting, the various party members can be conversed with, nurturing bonds which may grow into either romances or a partnerships. Different endings can be played out depending on the romantic interest or chosen partner.

ATB COMBAT

The ATB (Active Time Battle) system made famous in various retro rpgs makes a return, seeing characters' turns arrive as time passes with aggressive enemies who will attack even as a move is being selected. A "Wait ON" option can be toggled to prevent the enemy from attacking while a move is being selected, allowing the player to decide how frantic they'd like their combat encounters to be.
