A charmingly quirky RPG where you catch and fuse spirits you fight, and layer by layer reveal deep, intricate lore. This single-player, turn-based RPG has a deceptively simple exterior, but within lie complexity and depth. It's light and it's dark, it's witty and it's silly, and it's one of a kind.
