The anime-style action RPG is in development for PC, iOS, and Android, and set in a world where the cycle of life and death has stopped; the player is a Guide who fights alongside psychic companions to restart reincarnation. The announcement trailer and two boss battle videos show parry-centered combat, three-character parties, and a stagger gauge. TapTap lists PC for the first quarter of 2028 and mobile for the second.
The project was reported in Chinese media in 2024 under the name Starry Retrospect: Evernight Tribulation, before NUTAYU confirmed it on October 23. Public material so far is a story outline, an announcement trailer and two boss battle videos.
The boss footage is specific. Parries work against bullets as well as melee, bosses carry a stagger gauge whose depletion opens a damage window, and parties hold three characters with instant switching, normal attacks, dodges and two skills. The trailer adds a giant female-type robot standing in a hangar-like space, and characters swallowed by something and turned into monsters.
