About This Game

The game's multiple endings depend on your dialogue choices and relationship levels with party members. Includes over 50 CGs and anime-style cutscenes that push the GBA's capabilities.
Originally developed for WonderSwan Color, this enhanced GBA port adds new events, improved graphics, and an expanded soundtrack. The game spawned a trilogy known as the Dept. Heaven series.
