Having already lost a daughter through sickness, King Kaiser is anxious to know if his next child will become the next ruler of the Fa Ral Kingdom. However, the fortune teller’s crystal ball did not show the image of the King’s child, but rather of a young boy named Shion who lives in a small village called Teppul. Knowing this, the King tries to set up a meeting with Shion. The game may look and feel like an RPG, but you won’t be encountering any enemies on a field or gain any experience points. It’s very much an adventure game, where you explore and interact with the surroundings and characters to progress. Initially the player follows the story of Shion, but in the latter half it switches over to Shion’s lover, Lisa Lisa.
