Lobelia
– A sovereign who lives in isolation, only trusting herself
– Apart from remaining at distance from others, she barely shows herself, to the point where some of her subjects don’t recognize her appearance
– Lobelia will uphold the reincarnation cycle above all else, to the point of obsession
Leo
– Lobelia’s loyal right-hand man, and trueborn son
– The sovereign is the only one he trusts
– He has respected her as a leader rather than a mother since his childhood
– He does not have any friends, nor any other people he trusts, but he has never felt anguish over that
– With his blind faith in the sovereign, Leo takes upon an antagonistic position against the Watchers, who heed the words of other beings
Two Worlds
– The world in the game is split into two planes
– These are the Living World and the Beyond, where dead souls live
– Watchers can go into both worlds with their own will
– The first time they visit certain parts of the Beyond, it will be masked in darkness, making it hard to fight
– By defeating certain enemies that are linked to the Beyond, they will be able to return the Beyond to an explorable state
– The two worlds have different rules, with the general rule being that Living World objects are breakable and interactable, while the Beyond’s versions are not
– You can use tactics like going into the Beyond to use the unbreakable gravestones as cover, while some places will require you to pass over in the Living World, as things like levers don’t function in the Beyond
– The Beyond also has treasure chests that contain items left behind from an unknown era
– Spacequakes warp Kagachi to places unreachable in the Living World
– ‘Rules of the Beyond’ can affect battle by installing various conditions onto both Kagachi and the enemies
– Ex: one Rule is that every attack becomes a critical hit, which can be helpful but also very dangerous when against strong monsters
– The Watchers have the ability to detect the presence of lost souls wandering around with lingering regrets
– Their task is to guide them back towards reincarnation by helping solve the reasons for their lingering will
– There are also encounters with Daemons awaiting Kagachi, who will lend their power to turn the tide in his favor
