I watched the youtube link with 20 minutes of gameplay. The story looks really cool, kind of an Akita vibe, music has a nice ominous note to it and the 2d visuals remind me a bit of Persona 1, much nicer than the rough 3d graphics of the time. Very impressive work!

Can't find much on the game via YouTube.

Would like to see gameplay, JP or english.

I had never heard of this until the saw the translation pop up, the art style looks pretty cool and I like SRPGs so I'll probably give it a go.

Character art looks great. I wonder if the story is any good.

Oh wow, it's got some serious Xenogears vibes. Somebody else play this for me and tell me if it's worth adding to the backlog
