About the Game

                                 Two worlds! Two fates! One man who can change it all!       

                                                                   Features:

🏆 1000+ beautiful 3D-rendered CG content depicting the story rendered in sharp, crisp 4K resolution for the highest quality.

🏆 Stunning animations including variants, showing fights, action, and drama with fluid, smooth movement.

🏆 A sprawling, world-spanning story with engaging themes of trauma and past mistakes.

🏆 Three main routes, each with their own unique characters, story beats, and endings!

🏆 Many branching pathways and alternate endings along the story paths.

🏆 Immersive, original music tracks masterfully composed to enhance your gaming experience.

Cyrus is in a transitional point of his life, mired in past mistakes, fractured relationships and unresolved trauma. While attempting to restart his life in a new city with a new job, he is thrust into the fantasy world of Cadagan, tasked with taking down the evil insurgent king Monn Molian.

The catch? Due to a mishap in the spell bringing him to Cadagan, Cyrus is now tethered to both worlds, forcing him to alternate days between each and overcome his seemingly-insurmountable and conflicting priorities.

And of course, that isn't the last spanner in the works, with a girl from a long-gone, highly turbulent relationship suddenly reappearing in his life. With a rare second chance to restart and rebuild, Cyrus will take charge, address his past mistakes and seize his bright new future. Or, at least, he hopes!
