Game Summary:
About: Long ago, the kingdom of Lantarna prospered thanks to the blessings of a white comet passing overhead. The art of harnessing the comet’s blessings was called alchemy, and practitioners of this art were known as alchemists. However, when the comet disappeared and its blessings were no longer available, the use of alchemy gradually declined and was forgotten. Many years have passed, and in a corner of Lantarna, two girls have a fateful encounter.
One is Resna, who has found hope in alchemy and heads to the Capital with the goal of traveling to the End of the World, where the source of the miracle is said to be located. The other is Valeria, a girl who has lost her memories and now lives in the city doing hard work as an adventurer for the Moonlight Society. Behind them looms the shadow of the group known as the Alchemists of the Polar Night, a shadowy organization shrouded in mystery. With different motivations and ambitions intertwined, the two eventually come closer to the truth that lies latent on the continent.
