A puppet somehow has its own will, accidentally summoned a mystical soul from the Otherworld.
Now they are trapped in a mysterious manor.
What is behind all this, and what is awaiting these two souls?
The answer lays in the Book of the Old.

Dodge enemies' bullets and shoot them! Every time you start a journey, it will be all new!
Adventure deeper, and new maps, enemies, stories will appear.

Equipment? No, they are cards!


Collecting coins after cleaning rooms. Use coins to get powerful cards, or keep the coins for interest -- if you are not killed by powerful enemies.

3 same cards will became higher ranked card, witch can assist you fighting more powerful enemies.
Each card has two forms of ability and two bonds. With 80 cards and 32 bonds, it's up to your wisdom and imagination how powerful you can be.
