Ecsaform

In the ruins of a hi-tech society, survivors salvage what they can and pray no one tries to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Seseri is a young girl in the kingdom of Solpagania, the subject of various biological experimentations. While in the lab, she discovers a robotic being named Bead, who has been uncovered from ancient ruins. Upon awakening, the two escape from their prison and reach the surface, where they discover a world in disarray.

Ecsaform‘s plot is so ambitious that the entire second disc is a database devoted to explaining the background, setting, and terminology, and is filled with images and character sketches. One of the best things about the game is its worldview, a blending of science fiction and fantasy, with character artwork by illustrator Seiji Tada.
