History

Thirteen years ago, the great war between the kingdoms of Elme and Meadran ended.                     

After realizing the considerable human loss and great threat magic represents, the winning side, Meadran, has forbidden access to the battlefields and instituted new rules condemning the use of magic outside of their defined boundaries.

It's been over a decade now, and less and less magic users exist.
In fact, to detect them the kingdom of Meadran organizes once a year an event in which everyone has to participate on their seventeenth birthday.

This way, once a year, a lot of people from across the entire kingdom of Meadran rush to the capital to assist in the now-famous ceremonies of the Oaths of Light.

During which each participant will have to swear allegiance to the kingdom and participate in a number of organized activities.
If magic is detected in a participant, he is offered to work for the kingdom on the studies and applications of magic, which is considered a great honor for the chosen one and its family.
Everyone else involved in the ceremonies will then just go back to their normal lives if no magic has been detected within them.

That is what usually happens. But this year's Oaths of Light ceremonies might be... different.

Our story takes place a little before Eden's seventeenth birthday.
She, like many others, was summoned to the capital for the ceremonies of the Oaths of Light. And she will have to leave the peaceful village where she has always lived to attend it.
Moreover, lately, hunters from the village have reported sightings of very agitated wildlife and unusual activities in the woods.
You will be involved in the investigation initiated by the village chief and help to uncover surprising history and mysteries.












What will happen next is history yet to be written before your decisions in this adventure...

Harvest quests: Quests in which you'll have to bring a precise item for a reward.


The minimap will also sometimes show you Points Of Interest (POI).
Those are places in which you may find something interesting—a treasure, maybe?
And last but not least, the minimap will also show you essential locations:

Inns: Places in which you'll likely meet people. You can also rest there to restore your party's health when available.

Shops: The place to be if you need gear or a few potions to prepare for a difficult battle.

Save Points: You will find many save points during your adventure. When you first touch it, you unlock it as a waypoint that will allow you to quickly travel from one waypoint to another.

Battles

During your adventure, you will encounter and battle against many foes.
Slimes, Snakes, Spiders, Mushroom Men, Boars, Wolves, and more!

Each time you defeat a monster, your knowledge about it increases, and you can check it in the bestiary.


Battles are turn-based and timed.
When your turn starts, you have 5 seconds of tactical time and 5 seconds of action time.

Tactical Time: The tactical time is a 5-second period in which you can think before moving or starting your turn. It ends if any input is pressed or if the 5 seconds are passed.
Turn Time: Your timer starts counting down when the tactical time is over. During your turn, you can move around the battlefield, attack, cast skills, and use items. When you hit an enemy with a normal attack, you will get a few more milliseconds of time added, allowing you to maybe land one more hit or cast a skill right before your turn ends, for example.

Every time you hit an enemy with a normal attack, you will stack combo matter
.
Stacks of combo matter will increase the damage of your next skill exponentially, with a maximum of 32.
In addition, every ten stacks of combo matter will let you chain a skill after the first one in the order you have defined, with the maximum stack releasing special effects!
Tip: Hitting an enemy in the back considerably improves the chances of a critical hit.


Battle Ranks: The battle results will display a rank for your performances during that fight.
The better you perform, the higher you will rank. A good rank will allow you to earn additional experience, gold, and equipment.


The battle ends when you have defeated all your opponents or when all your allies have been defeated.
Winning battles will earn you precious experience, some gold, and item(s).
