Somehow, I overslept and the world seems to have ended. 『IES0.97』 is a metafiction puzzle action game featuring delightfully surreal conversations. A world overrun by monsters, where all humanity abandoned Earth to flee to a new world. But one girl, Lorena, and her servant, Rusha, overslept and missed the evacuation. This game lets you enjoy their conversations while guiding Lorena to the new world so she can take her nap again. Puzzle Action Unfolding Through Magic You can use the various spells Lorena possesses to warp past obstacles or defeat enemies blocking your path. However, the damage taken from enemies and the mana consumed by using spells share the same pool. This forces you to strategize: should you defeat enemies or avoid them? You'll need to map out the terrain yourself to find the shortest route. When no enemies are on screen, you can calmly plan your approach without interruption. The game's dissonance and metafictional story After playing for a while, you'll encounter this game's peculiar mechanics and inexplicable phenomena. Yet, they all hold meaning, allowing you to ponder the “true reality” and other story elements. This game is recommended for those who enjoy analyzing stories while playing or who appreciate metafictional narratives. Please bring Lorena to the new world soon.
