A very nice puzzle-focused (sort of) metroidvania set in Dante's Divine Comedy. It has a pretty unique atmosphere, very nice visuals, and makes a clever use of all the mythological references.

I did a menu patch for both the PC-98 and FM Towns versions of this game back in the days, but the technical difficulties prevented me from going further. Recently, Alpharobo managed to crack the game engine open and send me a dump of the script, so it's officially back on track! It's very different from what we usually do, but I really hope you'll enjoy playing it. It really is a fascinating game that deserves more recognition.

You can still get the menu patches from either GBATemp, RHPZ or RHDI. I'll remove them when the project is advanced enough, so they don't cannibalize the complete patch.
