An open-world action RPG with a time-loop premise from Saroasis Studios, a Tencent-affiliated developer. Players take the role of a Returner granted only 42 days to avert the end of the world, forging a contract with the mysterious spirit Chu to gain the power to rewind time and reshape events across each cycle. The game pairs hand-drawn anime visuals with a vast traversable world that supports gliding and other fluid movement, spirit companion combat featuring distinct fighting styles cultivated through a spirit progression system, and a dialogue layer driven by d20 dice rolls so choices and outcomes shift between playthroughs. A first PC closed beta, the First Playthrough Test, ran in mainland China from April 28 to May 1, 2026, following a recruitment window in late March and April and a small earlier technical test, with Android pre-registration live in China and iOS plus a global rollout planned to follow.
