●SYSTEM “Tactics RPG to face justice” Set on the war-torn continent of Nozeria, players are forced to make difficult decisions. Various choices and actions during the game are secretly accumulated in "beliefs" based on three values: "BENEFIT", "MORAL", and "FREEDOM", which affect the branching of the story and the addition of companion units. Players are constantly asked what to prioritize and what to discard. Even while exploring the town, various options will force the player to make a decision. Sometimes it may be the trigger for a major branching of the story. Depending on the player's beliefs, the events that occur and the characters that become friends will change. Important decisions that affect the fate of the protagonists are made by voting using a "balance of belief." Choices such as ``Should I protect the people at the cost of the prince's life?'' or ``Should I protect the prince at the cost of sacrifice?'' have a major impact on the story. In order for players to get their point across, they need to persuade a different point of view. The decisions you have to make in ``The Balance of Beliefs'' deeply affect the branching of the story. You need to face your own "beliefs" and choose carefully. The various information obtained through exploration may sometimes sway the player's decision. And it can also be used as a weapon to persuade characters who have different opinions. In order to get your opinion across, you need to persuade the opinions of those around you. If persuasion does not go well, the player may end up making a decision that he did not intend... Depending on the decision made, the player's position and the opponent he fights will change.
