GilGul

GilGul follows Mitsu Mao, a girl who clings to life, after she becomes lost in the Interworld, a realm between life and death. There she meets people who have wished for death, each carrying a tragic past. To return to the real world, Mao must climb through the Interworld’s floors toward its topmost level.

The Interworld

The world brings together opposites such as cuteness and grotesqueness, hope and despair, and life and death. As Mao talks with those she meets, she forms bonds, uncovers their stories and may change their fates. Their lives intertwine with hers as she comes to understand life, death and the mysteries of the Interworld.

Mao’s companions include:

• Bikke: the Interworld’s guide, whose true nature remains a mystery.
• Miku Tatsumi: a “beautiful” woman Mao meets first, haunted by the fear of growing old.
• Yuria Torikai: a pure, childlike girl who longs for love.
• Kaede Mizuura: a sensible woman who resents illness.
• Himena Onikoube: a selfish girl who stays true to herself and is possessed by desire.
• Megumi Mokudai: a girl both closest to and furthest from the Interworld, utterly consumed by death.

Adventure and choices

The adventure follows Mao, Bikke and the people they meet through moments of joy and sorrow. Your choices affect Mao’s relationships with the other characters, the story’s course and each character’s future.

Tactical battles

The game combines exploration with real-time tactical battles. Hordes of monstrous creatures roam the Interworld and try to drag Mao and her companions down. You use skills, tactics, summoning abilities and teamwork to defeat them and continue the climb toward the real world.
