A “miko” awakens in a mysterious shrine, gathering animals to activate skills and take
down enemies in this innovative RPG experience. In this game, you can travel with up to 14 companion animals at the same time! The rarity of companion animals obtained by defeating them varies, and the skills activated depend significantly on the combination of these animals.
With over 10,000 possible skills, including not only attack techniques but also healing skills, it becomes crucial to strategically swap companions based on the situation. Awakening in the crimson afterlife, she, with the miko’s ability, begins a journey to purify wandering tainted souls while searching for the meaning of her awakening alongside her companions.
