The Japan-exclusive title featured a scenario by Atelier series creator Shinichi Yoshiike, published by Atlus. The narrative centers on protagonist Nora Brandor and her misty forest time-manipulation workshop. A central gameplay mechanic allows Nora to alter the temporal state within materials to change their properties.
Players are invited to gather items in the field, braving battles against fantasy creatures alongside recruitable allies. Once procured, Nora can process the spoils with time manipulation and synthesize more powerful equipment.
Originally pressed on two compact discs in 2011 by 5pb. Records, the folk music-inspired soundtrack is available through streaming platforms. The album features contributions in arrangement by Noriyuki Iwadare, and vocals by Kaori Asoh on the opening theme, "Making the Most of the Time I Make." Cover art is by Yūji Hinata of Etrian Odyssey.
