You can choose to play as a girl or a boy. I picked boy. You start in Purgatorio Island where Filthoids have recently attacked the village. Everyone has escaped on boats except MC, who's official name is Vita, and their childhood friend Berenica because the latter went back to find Vita. Now they have to figure out how to leave the island without a boat. In the past, people fled to the island and have kept hidden from the outside world.

The basic graphics are similar to Wuthering Waves. The controls are more like WuWa as well thought not as precise/controlled. I do like how you can jump again while in the air if you realize you're not gonna hit your mark and you can also shoot through the air. So far no flying or swimming. You can duck and slide. There's no fall damage! Combat is extremely easy so far. There are chests throughout so it encourages exploring. There was one 'hidden' chest you had to duck in to get. You have to pick up the items yourself (except in commissions), there's a 'collect all' option but it's only for nearby items and items tend to be spread out, so it can be easy to miss things if you don't walk around (it's hard to see things on sight). Breaking boxes gets you potions and ammo mostly. There's various other items to pick up in the world like stuff to sell or make things with. I got to level 5 just exploring and taking down all the enemies scattered around town. You can pick up a gun when you're heading to the docks and choose between a rapid fire or slower fire rate gun.

There's a Goddess based religion. Why are there so many bird carvings, holy moly. Maybe real birds don't come there so they made some? But you can pick up bird eggs...

You mean to tell me Vita didn't explore every inch of the island with Berry growing up and never saw the Goddess statue before?

According to Berry, they used to live in what's now ruins beyond the Goddess statue, but Vita doesn't remember that. There's a story there you can find that I think is about Vita, Berry and another kid Vita was trying to afford a cake for?

So these people have been looking for Berry, who they call 'No. 0', for a long time, and Vita is her Resonator. Vita letting go of her hand in that crucial moment made things worse - if only she'd fallen with him or she tricked the bad guys ('I'll jump too if you don't pull him up'). Now presumably she got taken by them anyway and thinks Vita is dead.

Sawashiro Miyuki is the seiyuu for Camilla! Another blonde char!

Interesting there's an 'Impressions' system where your choices effect how people around you react to you. The first choice you have comes down to 'be friendly with Camilla and Snow' or 'shun them' so it's pretty clear-cut... It seems when talking to people there's an Impressions check which you can fail, though you can roll again with special dice.

They called Vita a 'Charon' right? They have horns and distinctive spines.

I like how you can stop and read info entries mid-convo.

Cool, there are costume pieces like animals ears or tail! Ohh, that's what the summoning system is for. You get characters by buying their secret letters and running commissions for a chance to get their...shards? It takes 30 to summon a character. This goes for some weapons and demon wedges too.

I'm so glad dodging isn't a necessity so far, you can do it but it's not made a big deal of.

So the sword which is really a key that Vita has now was left behind by 'someone who knew them well'.

Can we not choose to run around as Vita? 😢 Oh, you have to go in and 'Deploy' him.

I just realized Snow's name is a pun with Tsuno (horn). And what's this about voices guiding her to Vita?
