Aki, a quiet Tokyo office worker and MMO fan, meets an unexpected end and awakens in the land of Anthem, summoned by the cat-eared mage Mina. There, she joins forces with the haughty Mina and energetic foxgirl Scarlet to rescue the kidnapped priestess Luna from brigands. Their path brings clashes with thieves and slimes, testing Aki's rusty kendo skills against her own doubts.
This simulation follows the trio's journey through Anthem's dangers, where Aki wields her sword amid incompetence and Scarlet's reckless charges. Mina leads with her prodigious magic to recover Luna. Players guide awkward heroines in a fantasy quest on PC, appealing to fans of character-driven simulations.
Aki’s life is nothing to write home about. She lives in Tokyo, works at an office, and she whiles away her time playing MMOs. Aki isn’t exactly happy with her lot in life, but it’s all she knows, and she’s too tired from work to change it.
Aki is the last person you’d expect to go on a magical adventure…
Until she gets hit by a truck.
After being mown down on her way home from work, Aki is summoned to the land of Anthem by a cat-eared witch called Mina.
Mina is a talented mage whose skills far outstrip most others. She promises she’ll return Aki home in due course, after she’s had a chance to replenish her magical energy, but she wants Aki to do her a favor first.
The priestess Luna, whom Mina was entrusted with taking care of, has been kidnapped by malevolent forces, and Mina has no idea where she is.
Mina enlists the help of Aki, our heroine, and Scarlet, a cheerful foxgirl, to track down Luna and punish the brigands who kidnapped her. Our trio’s journey will be far from easy, however. Attacked by thieves, assaulted by slimes, and encumbered by Aki’s own incompetence, Aki’s new life in Anthem gets off to a poor start.
Can an awkward, unassuming office lady like Aki really become a hero?
Aki is the unwilling heroine of our tale. She’s quiet and soft-spoken, and she finds it hard to assert herself. Bullied by her co-workers and criticized by her parents for her lack of ambition, Aki struggles to see herself as a warrior.
Contrary to her demure appearance, however, Aki is handy with a sword, being a kendo champion in her teenage years. It’s been a long time since she last wielded a blade, however, and Aki isn’t too confident about her abilities.
Can she really pull this off?
Mina is a highly talented mage, and she’s the catalyst behind this tale.
Mina might be a prodigy, but she’s proud and haughty alongside it. She’s aware of her own strengths and she doesn’t try to downplay them. As a result, she can come across as being arrogant.
Mina is cold and aloof to most people, but she absolutely adores Luna. She’s determined to find Luna again, no matter how long it takes, and she doesn’t care who she drags along with her.
Scarlet is the third addition to Mina’s party, and she she has no shortage of energy. She’s a perpetually cheerful foxgirl who fancies herself as a brave knight, who was kicked out of her former party for being a little too enthusiastic while fighting monsters.
Scarlet is a fierce fighter who’s an asset to have on the battlefield…
When she isn’t scuppering well-laid plans by charging in like a lunatic, that is.
in progress...
