About
Arcadia Fallen II is a critically acclaimed roleplay visual novel where you step into the shoes of a senior mage student at the insulated Seven Winds Academy. Amidst empire-wide political tension and fierce discrimination against mages, you must choose your magical discipline and shape your character's unique personality. Blending adventure and RPG elements with a completely choice-driven narrative, every decision molds your relationships and dictates the empire's future without ever leading to a 'wrong' path or dead end.
Story
Set seven years after the events in Anemone Valley, the Empire is at a boiling point with extreme prejudice against mages, threatening 'low-grade' students with remote Productivity facilities. While trying to survive exams and the New Year's Gala, your group of seniors uncovers a massive castle secret, teaming up with a mysterious eavesdropping dragon named Ragnar to navigate high-stakes political intrigue.
Gameplay
Gameplay centers around a robust, tone-labeled dialogue system that empowers deliberate roleplaying, allowing you to be anything from a straight-A student to a charismatic delinquent. Players engage in chapter-based minigames like nighttime stealth sneaking, codebreaking, and puzzles specifically tailored to their chosen magical discipline.
