According to the website (with translation from Gematsu), the game's main character is a high school student who wanders into another world called "Da'at". The student fuses with a mysterious man and becomes a forbidden being called "Nahobino". Da'at is a desert world where gods and demons are at war. There are demons the size of mountains and giant birds that flap their wings in the sky, apparently.
"Da'at is an uncivilised land where powerful demons will attack you," the website revealed. "The protagonist is in pursuit of the truth and will pave the way forward. Utilise various means to move forward, including developing the power of the Nahobino, and sometimes even employing the powers of evil.
"The end of the game will diverge in many ways. What future awaits the decisions you make...?"
