About the Game



It's your typical story: Two opposing species; poor communication and misunderstandings; war, peace, and the fate of the world... it all rests on you.
But it's also kinda different: This time you are not a brave warrior, you're not a monster, you're not really even a typical NPC. You are a...
...uh, a treasure chest.

One day, a treasure chest, tired of sitting in the forest day after day, suddenly finds itself able to move. After excitedly frightening nearby birds and squirrels, it sets out to show off to anyone who will pay attention, convinced that it is the Chosen One and destined to achieve something huge.
However, humans and magibeings are in conflict, so it faces a dilemma: Become a humble friend to the humans; stand with the magibeings; or remain neutral (and risk being assailed by both sides)?
With three companions, it embarks upon a journey to see the world... but how the world looks depends on your perspective.
Everyone believes that they are righteous, but who, if any, is right?





An atypical JRPG with no mazes and very little grinding. Ideal for those who want to enjoy a story-driven adventure.

●The Roads Not Taken

Three different story paths, with completely different plots, that fork soon after the game starts. Follow your own path to discover the fate of the world!

● The Sun Is New Each Day (so do the NPCs)

All NPC dialogues, and even furniture inspections, are determined by the storyline. Some conversations can only be triggered at certain times, and some furniture can only be investigated if you have a good relationship with its owner. The world continually changes as the story progresses.

● Money, Potion and Everything

Need money?
Need potions?
Need equipment?
Don't worry, you're a TREASURE CHEST!
As a treasure chest, you can create almost anything out of the blue. All you need is experience! Exploring the world, talking with people, fighting enemies, helping others... it's all knowledge that helps you create the things you need! Play a mini-game, and create what you like!

● Fight Like a Chest

It's a turn-based game, but you may want to focus more on items than skills. There are many items to choose from, each with their own strategies, use them wisely to turn the tides of battle in your favor.

Perhaps talking with a boss mid-battle might calm them down and make them less aggressive... or maybe it'll make them even angrier?
