- How to Play -
Various monsters stand in the way, but Little Hero is much too young to handle them all himself. Support him in being victorious by first weakening the monsters with your summoning powers. Little Hero will gain Confidence to defeat more monsters and grow stronger. Help Little Hero increase his level and prepare for the final boss showdown!"

- System -
◆Partnership Chance
This event increases your chances of landing a contract with a defeated boss, with any remaining HP increasing your chance of success. Here's your opportunity to twist boss monsters' arms into signing away!

◆Contract System
When luck is on your side, you'll get a chance to offer a contract to the monsters that Little Hero defeats at the end of the stage. Monsters who sign can be set in the Grimoire, allowing you to summon them. You'll be able to handle monsters more easily the more contracts you land.

◆Confidence System
Little Hero has a Confidence parameter that increases when he defeats enemies and that amplifies XP. Gain more Confidence to increase the speed at which you level up. The amount of Confidence you earn will depend on how you defeat enemies, so try to gain the most whenever you get the chance.

◆Digest Attack
An offensive method that can be activated when the gauge on the upper right of the screen is full. If you defeat the enemy, you'll earn Confidence according to how many combos you get. When activated, however, you cannot summon or use items to provide support, so be sure to weaken the enemy first to get combos.

The premise follows a young summoner-in-training who sets out to correct misbehaving monsters, accompanied—quietly and humorously—by protective family members observing from behind the scenes. This light narrative framing gives the game personality without overwhelming the core gameplay loop. Progression unfolds across structured stages that typically range from a few minutes to around twenty minutes each. Every encounter demands deliberate thought: players weaken enemies through standard attacks and summoning tactics before attempting to form contracts with powerful foes. The contract system is central to the experience. After defeating certain monsters, players can recruit them into their grimoire, allowing them to be summoned in later battles. This collection element introduces long-term strategy, as assembling a diverse roster of creatures…

I've been enjoying my time with this game quite a lot so far especially on hard mode (the way it's meant to be played), but I cant seem to progress past the forest stage; I've tried everything from defeating all the monsters from each path to even completing it through both hard and easy, I'm not sure if it's just a glitch or I'm just stupid, but nonetheless I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me.
