Developer comments at the Tokyo Game Dungeon 14 demo put the game at more than 18 chapters with three branching storylines. The joining characters and the heroine closest to the protagonist Swan differ by route.
Combat detail shown at the demo: hate value is set per unit and can be checked at any time, so the player can see who enemies will target. Killing an enemy raises hate sharply, which makes Swan, the high HP and DEF fighter, a useful finisher. MP starts at zero and recovers automatically, and a lost character returns in the next stage.
