- Origami hails from Musuhi Village, a mystical home to long-living inhabitants. She once served as her homestead’s elder. However, her decision to aid Towa is tied to a mysterious curse that befell her homeland, and she will support the protagonist in her mission to stop Magatsu.
- Shigin arrives in Towa and Shinju Village from distant lands – evident in their unique, somewhat hard-to-understand way of speaking. This swift swordsman joined Towa fueled by deep hatred for the Magaori, servants of evil Magatsu. Despite sporting adorable cat ears, Shigin will stop at nothing to free the world from their grasp.

Players choose two Guardians to venture into each mission: one wields the sacred sword power called Tsurugi, and the other carries the magical Kagura staff. Each Guardian has unique abilities that can be unlocked and refined, both within dungeons and through permanent progression in Shinju Village.
Beyond each Guardian’s abilities, players can find various crafting materials to forge and upgrade their swords, making every combat style and Guardian pair unique. As the Guardians progress through missions in different timelines, the village evolves over the years. Players can form strong bonds with villagers and learn more about their customs and stories, woven into the village’s inner workings.
Our heroes must fight together across this vibrant world, conquer dungeons, and defeat Magatsu’s minions to restore peace to the land.
