소개
Enter the surreal and high-tech campus of Caramel Academy City, a prestigious institution where only the strongest thrive. As the mysterious exchange student Kotama, you must navigate a labyrinth of robots, delinquents, and ancient secrets. Blending 3D visuals with 2.5D side-scrolling action, this 'search-action' adventure combines deep exploration with a unique momentum-based combat system.
스토리
Kotama arrives at a labyrinthine academy shrouded in a dire crisis, competing against superpowered students for the century-spanning title of 'Carmel Star.' By completing errands to earn 'Votes' and manipulating time to solve temporal riddles, Kotama must uncover the buried history of the Academy and the truth behind her own origins.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around 'Fluid Detonation': attack enemies to stack Chronofluid, then unleash heavy attacks to detonate them for massive damage, energy restoration, and healing. Players switch seamlessly between three distinct weapons—the defensive Umbrella Spear, the multi-hit Whip Hammer, and the Liquid Blade—while utilizing high-speed traversal mechanics like wall jumps, dashing, and time rewinds.
