Plot
Revalia is a world formed from the dreams of people from countless different worlds. As long as there are those who dream, it continues to exist - when they cease to dream, the world will die. Within Revalia resides the Rufres Clan whose duty is to keep the balance in the world by purifying the nightmares of the people, the incarnation of the people's darkness in their hearts called Vule.

But recently, the Vules, which never had any specific form to begin with, started to appear as monsters and opposed the Rufres called Dream Keepers who had special powers. But one day, those Dream Keepers all simultaneously lost their shape. The remaining still-powerless and immature Rufres all went to a place called the Waking World and tried their best to summon those who can fight the Vules.

However, the summoning ceremony was a failure and the summoned warriors were all scattered around Revalia.

Due to the failure of the ceremony, all the summoned ones lost their memories of their previous journey in their respective worlds, also their strength and abilities. The summoned characters are called as Awakened Dreamers.

Battle System
As the title says, the battle system is a strategy-type, which is command-based. Depending on the character's weapon and skill, normal attacks and artes may have different range. This game uses AP or Artes Points to execute an arte. The players will have to move the characters per tile.

Overlimits are still part of this game. As usual, when the Overlimit gauge is full, players can perform mystic artes.

Characters also have Skills, which they can learn by consuming Skill Points. Skill examples include increasing the max HP, having guard counter, etc. And apparently, in order to remember new skills, as well as artes, the players will need a Memory Fragment which can be used at a Memory Hall.
