Exploration Focused, No Grind!


Go where you want, only gated by various ability unlocks. You also get stronger from exploring to find equipment, experience points, and pets.

Fierce Enemies, In and Out of Combat!



Gain advantages through gameplay elements in the overworld and avoid dangerous enemies to survive. Enemies have their own particular behaviors in and out of combat.

Deep Customization, Equipment, Companions, and Pets!


Items you discover grant unique abilities in battle, allowing for flexible customization. Companions and pets each have a special battle mechanic that modifies how combat plays out.
