False Myth

False Myth follows Rouge, a skilled swordswoman who visits the city of Lylan and is arrested by knights led by Rita Lylan, the city’s governor. After a misunderstanding, Rouge defends Rita from two assassins and is struck by a strange syringe while taking a blow meant for her. Rouge wakes to find that his gender has changed. Rita falls in love with her savior, while her aunt—the true ruler of Lylan—welcomes the idea of Rouge marrying her niece and protecting her from further assassination attempts.

Initially opposed to the arrangement, Rouge eventually agrees to become Rita’s bodyguard. You play as Rouge, protecting Rita and investigating the shadows troubling Lylan. With Rita, you join the newly formed Justice Guild, help citizens with their problems, gather information about mysterious events and explore the city’s districts.

Explore Lylan

Tour the city’s districts and meet its residents. The characters are represented by hand-drawn sprites both in the city and in combat.

Investigate and take on jobs

The Justice Guild gives you a way to handle citizens’ troubles and look into strange happenings. You can also spend time with party members, give them gifts and learn about their circumstances, or earn extra money through side jobs such as serving food and drinks at a restaurant.

Battles and dungeons

Dungeons use a board-game-style layout, with each tile leading to a different encounter or effect. In battles, you build a hand of cards and use it to respond strategically to enemy moves, form combos and have allies perform supportive maneuvers.

Minigames

You can take a break from the main adventure with minigames, including a fishing system and side jobs.
