Sony describes the game:
When Hope Sparks Catastrophe
In a world shrouded in lightfall, a natural phenomenon that brings death to those it touches,
A lonely boy who suffers from amnesia becomes acquainted with a special girl.
Together, they set out on a journey to stop this phenomenon,
Believing that the journey will save the world, and in turn, save her.
Fate, bestowed by the Gods?
Or the power of will, borne from within humankind?
Their journey ends up shaking the world.
Unravel the mandate of heaven, and weave together the threads of hope in this completely new RPG experience.
Nobuki Kadoi is producing the game. Kadoi stated during the stream that the team are striving to place elements that define a JRPG — meeting comrades, growth, and heartfelt moments — at the core of the game’s narrative.
