A princess and her bodyguard are forced to flee from their castle using a forbidden art. However this lands them far away in a place where magical power is near non-existent and technology has been created to deal with that. Can they get out of there before it's too late and their magical power is lost forever, while saving the very troubled woman who is the first to befriend them there?The best thing about the game is its worldbuilding. The mana system is well thought out, and makes for a strong backbone for the rest of the story. Mana in this game is well explained, and both very functional in its use and very dire in its absence. Not many visual novels do as well with worldbuilding as it does; it's dense but not overpowering nor babble.The writing and character interactions are good as well. The princess's bodyguard is a great character and sort of the player's eyes. This is a game where the protagonists are women, but it isn't a yuri/girl's love game, and isn't sexualized at all. The story has some surprisingly serious elements, too. It's a good blend of fantasy and reality; this is definitely not the cliche anime visual novel.However the negatives are strong.The game clocks in at about 4 hours. It ends just as you think it would get started, on a pretty jarring cliffhanger. It's more a kinetic novel than a visual novel, with no real choices and no replayability. I was surprised when I hit the end and went to the games gallery to see I had filled it. At $30 for a physical as of the time of this review, it's barebones compared to other VNs. There are no real extras included; a sparse gallery/music player and encyclopedia is there. A minor problem is that when you start a new game, you choose a language, but if you go to the above options as well as settings from the title screen, they are default Japanese! The top option in settings lets you change language.The game is pretty much an episode one of a larger series. It's a good start to it, but its fairly pricey for its length, and the story structure doesn't really help as it leaves you waiting for a Fault Milestone Two. If you are okay with this, you can add two stars to my review. If you like the Jake Hunter games, or something like Synergia, you would like this too, but the short length is very grating.
