Story
Arcalis is a planet with a complex history.
Centuries ago, when humans arrived, they found it abandoned. The only remnants of its previous society were massive bio-domes dotted on the surface and designed as protection from the hostile climate.
With one side of the world bathed in eternal day and the other cloaked in frigid night, the bio-domes are oases where people live sheltered from the scorching winds and storms. But whether in the bright, clean cities of the day side of the planet, or the poor and crime-ridden cities of the night side, life is never simple nor peace easy to come by.
When a fateful encounter exposes Morgan Leone, a young woman who has long hid her ESP, as a queen ranked Esper, she finds herself on the run from multiple factions eager to attain her abilities. Endgame, the planetary defence organisation; Crimson, a notorious crime syndicate from Delphine; and even the shadowy group only known as “the Host” – each group sends operatives to retrieve her.
Now, with several paths open to her, she must choose her allies carefully. Between light and shadow lies grey twilight where the lines between good and evil are blurred. And in a world where the only constants are the endless day and night that divide the planet, Morgan learns those who can’t adapt…also can’t survive.

好吃。量大管饱——
灵能+科幻，有趣的世界观，内置豆词典，出色的音乐，不错的展开，非常推荐
每个攻略角色都有14章的个人线，这样的欧美乙给真的太少见了，快买吧XD
目前通了Ari线和Magnus线，特别喜欢Magnus的塑造。
困于高塔之上孤独又孤单的国王在寻求变革。
Magnus表面装出一副人畜无害的样子，实际上是典型的the end justifies the means式代表人物，把所有人玩弄于股掌之中，妥妥的 马基雅维利主义者 呢（误
结果他对一个棋子动情 （点赞
对Magnus来说，Morgan的价值在于她来为Endgame带来改变。于是他拖她下水，激化她和Council之间的矛盾，以图达成他的大计。利用意味着伤害。很多时候，Magnus知道有更好的处理方式，却仍旧选择“会让Morgan受伤但能帮助他达成目的”的手段。
然而，在这个过程中，Magnus不可避免地心动了：因为只有Morgan和他一样清醒地意识到自己遭受的不公。他们彼此有着相似的遭遇，更不用提Morgan总是更勇敢地反抗的那个人。逐渐地，Magnus开始关心起Morgan，不想看到她受伤……
其中的后悔与不悔，内疚与心安，这种醍醐味还请细品w
总之，非常感谢作者写出了Magnus这个角色，他太棒了（比心
Thanks for such a lovely character, Magnus is truly amazing!
最后，OST跟设定集有希望作为DLC上架吗，很想要啊——
I wonder if there will be an artbook or OST, really want it ;) please!
