The game takes place in then-modern Tokyo, Japan and is about Marcia, who through chance happens to awake psychological powers within herself. Marica meets Akira and Kaname who, along with similar powers, work to protect a psychic being pursued by the Faction of Truth. Gameplay takes place in an overhead view with highly detailed sprites and backgrounds. Noteworthy is the game's battle engine, which is played through a visual novel -type format.
