About this game

Upon defeating the Demon King, the Hero, Astel, finds himself changed into... herself?! She'll have to navigate a world that is moving on from the dire situation brought about by the presence of the Demon King.

Help Astel make new friends and work her first-ever job. She'll be searching for portals to revolutionize Gran Tale's national postal service. The country is trying to rebuild and contend with economic and existential threats in this new, peaceful world!

Explore a variety of vibrant dungeons and battle enemies ranging from cute to nightmarish in this turn-based RPG. With several difficulty levels that can be changed on the fly, you have full control over the level of challenge you experience. Higher difficulties will net you special crafting materials that you'll need to make equipment to help you deal with the challenges of those modes. Once you finish the game, you can move on to New Game+ with your levels and stat bonuses intact!

Set equipment, abilities, and skills to power up your party and overcome all obstacles!
