“Hey, have you ever connected to a world seven dimensions away?”

You might laugh at such an outrageous question. But the game “Ciel nosurge” takes that “impossible event” seriously—and with passion. The story unfolds on the planet Ra Ciela, which is on the brink of extinction under a dying sun. People are divided into “Astronomers,” who hope to migrate to another planet, and “Chronologists,” who aim to restore the world through poetic magic. A quiet yet certain conflict over the future brews between them. The grand setting, where fantasy and sci-fi beautifully merge, offers an immersion that goes far beyond that of an ordinary game.

“I want to connect with you again—” If this catchphrase captures your heart, then you are already part of the story. At the center of the tale is Ion, a girl who has lost her memory. This uniquely immersive communication game progresses as the player directly interacts with her. Her world has mornings, nights, and the passage of time, just like ours. In that world, every word, expression, and gesture from Ion touches your heart, making you feel as if you are truly living together with someone. This is not just a game. The very act of “spending time with someone” lies at the core of this work.

What makes “Ciel nosurge” so fascinating is that it goes beyond mere communication. In Ion’s “Dream World”—a reflection of her inner mind—another major journey awaits: restoring her lost memories. The Dream World is a devastated ruin, and with the help of fairies called “Sharl” who appear there, you work to restore it. As you progress, pieces of Ion’s past gradually come to light. Each memory, though fragmented, carries deep emotions—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes heartwarming—and resonates strongly. Most of all, the experience of sharing those memories deepens your bond with Ion even further.

Of course, not everything is perfect. Some parts of the user interface may feel a bit unfriendly. But beyond that lies overwhelming storytelling and character development. Even if you're drawn in just by the Ion on the cover, you’ll surely find emotions far beyond what you imagined. What makes this game truly special is its ability to go beyond the boundaries of a game, offering a heartfelt exchange between people.

If you’re seeking an experience that touches your heart, “Ciel nosurge” is undoubtedly one of the answers.
