About the Game

Hey, so uh, I just graduated?!

Finally free from academic stress… or at least that’s what Gigi thought. Tired of her parents nagging her to get a job, Gigi ran away from home and crashed at her friend Okhee’s place. Today, too, should have been an ordinary day, but something’s off.

Besides Okhee yelling at her to go back,
the news is suddenly talking about a prophecy predicting the end of the world,
on top of that Gigi runs into a suspicious old man…

"You are one of the Twelve zodiac gods."

...and apparently, I am the only one who can stop the prophecy?

Animals who long to be human,
and gods who do not want to be human again.

Those who would do anything for the power,
and those who would do anything to fix this collapsing world. 

At the end of this, Gigi finally finds the lost memory of her past life and uncovers the secrets behind it all.
