About the Game

An ancient djinn has awakened but some bonds are stronger than magic! Help Erika and her friends face the supernatural together in this story-driven turn-based RPG. 

Explore the city, customise your party and uncover mysteries. Every moment brings you closer to saving the city - and each other.

After coming across a mysterious vase in an antique shop, Erika accidentally releases an ancient djinn. Thankful for freeing her, the djinn offers Erika and her friends a single wish, but things aren’t as they seem…

Can Erika, Ami, Noah and Rae, trust the being’s lies and manipulation?

As the city faces strange happenings and djinn minions begin to appear, the group must confront the truth behind the djinn’s offer. Together, they race to uncover her secrets and determine whether she should be sealed away once more—before it’s too late.

✦ Explore: Immerse yourself in a nostalgic open-world city with several different zones to discover. From the tranquil suburbs to the bustling city center, explore the beautiful metropolis while switching perspectives to discover deeper stories for each character.

✦ Quests: Multiple quests and side-quests to guide you through the story and world! Help the local residents and find a way to defeat the djinn once and for all.

✦ Learn and grow: Follow Erika and her friends as they grow in strength and maturity by overcoming their personal challenges. Watch their intertwined relationships evolve as they confront their inner demons and forge new connections.

✦ Turn based combat: Fast-paced battles against human and djinn enemies with no random encounters.

✦ A fresh take on traditional RPG battles: Revised stats, buffs and debuffs designed to give the player more opportunities to strategise, rather than relying on random luck!
