Overview
The Dreaming and Arousal of Puppeteers is a fantasy RPG for players who like dark, corruption-driven adventures with turn-based combat. The tone leans grim, blending investigation with escalating danger.
Story
Yuki works as a puppeteer for an organization dedicated to fighting Yoma, malevolent specters hidden within modern society. When people across town begin acting under the influence of strange, controlling dreams, Yuki suspects the Yoma are behind the phenomenon, since these creatures are known to dwell in and manipulate dreams. She sets out to investigate, eventually crossing into the dream world itself to find the source of the disturbance.
Gameplay
Players guide Yuki through turn-based battles using her magically controlled puppets to fight off Yoma encounters. Outside combat, the game shifts into investigation and exploration as Yuki traces the source of the dream phenomenon, moving between the real world and the dream world as the corruption spreads. Encounters grow more dangerous and degrading the deeper she pushes into the mystery, reflecting the game's escalating tone.
