"Captivating"
At the very heart of the story, the Hymmnos songs carried by Akiko Shikata and Haruka Shimotsuki unfurl an invented language of celestial beauty. The music becomes magic and emotion, fusing melody and story with rare fervour. This central place given to song makes the whole singularity of this Gust RPG.
