Back to Origin

Back to Origin is a story-focused role-playing game set in a fantasy world of magic. Its story follows three powers: an authoritarian empire ruled by a hegemonic monarch pursuing mysteries and miracles, an apparent paradise on earth led by angels but hiding secrets, and a democratic republic that values freedom and equality but is divided by political and class conflicts. When the empire starts a war against the republic, your peaceful life is disrupted, and you must choose whether to follow the queen and pursue her ideals or betray her for love and humanity.

The game has two main storylines and nine endings. Completing the full story takes around 30 hours, and you can choose to focus on the main story or take on optional side stories. A “Pure Story” mode removes combat difficulty and can be played like an electronic novel.

A world in conflict

The story explores questions about the world and human nature through a setting shaped by competing ideals and hidden histories. In a world of despair, darkness, chaos and emptiness, people continue to fight for their beliefs, seek truth and shape meaning for themselves.

Story modes

You can play the game in its regular form or choose “Pure Story” at launch to experience the narrative without combat difficulty. Save files can be moved between the two versions.
