An action/strategy card game set in a post-apocalyptic world where the barren surface world has been covered in mysterious dust and everyone has lost their memories of the world before. A band of humans who have developed special powers called Espers, have discovered two people locked away in hibernation capsules. One person is a mysterious man named Edgar who may harbor answers to why the cataclysm has taken place. The other sleeper is you.
