The story revolves around Velvet, who begins the story as a kindhearted, normal 16 year old girl, but her beloved brother is killed before her eyes by her brother-in-law/teacher, Artorius. Similarly, characters commit arson, which is illegal, but what they're burning is illegal drugs - would it be justified then? Or when Velvet kidnaps a child - kidnapping is wrong, but she is rescuing him from being an emotionless slave - would helping someone earn back their freedom be a crime? The game constantly circles around this point as the characters try to figure out if and when killing can be a justified action.

For example, Artorius, the main villain, killed Velvet's brother because he intended to start the ritual to end human suffering, but Velvet intends to kill Artorius for doing so because she believes humans need to have free will. In this story, it's your intentions that justify your actions. Oftentimes, monsters are still human at heart, and good people often hide the evil intent from outsiders' vision. One of the main morals in this game is don't judge a book by its cover. The high priest in the church is a generous and righteous man the entire country looks up to, but he is in fact, a fraud, who sells illegal drugs behind the scenes. Another example of hidden truths is the church (which is most likely based on the catholic religion, but it is a polytheistic religion, as there are four gods, dragons called Empyreans). What they don't tell the public is that it involves stripping humans of all emotion. For example, the Abbey prepares to stop all of mankind's pain and suffering. While the Abbey, the organization of supposed "heroes" comes up with a new way to save the world, Velvet, the main character, goes against the world to reveal that they aren't the shining beacon they pretend to be. In this game, the lines between good and evil are really blurry, as this is a war between logic and emotion.
But in reality, daemons are misunderstood people with feelings and families who love them. However, exorcists believe that daemons are the ultimate manifestation of suffering and sadness, and they must be eliminated. Exorcists are the only people that can kill daemons, but they need the help of malaks to do it - a unique species (which pure-hearted humans can sometimes be reincarnated as). This story involves daemons, malaks, and exorcists - daemons are humans that are overtaken by negative emotion, and sometimes, it turns them into literal monsters, but most of them retain their human features. It has a lot of humor, as well as emotion to help give a good balance, and the characters make the story come to life. WARNING, THE REST OF THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS SINCE MY POINTS MUST BE EXPLAINED PROPERLY. Please be wary, and make sure your child is mature enough to handle dark themes involving murder, suicide, and arson, as well as some blood and mild language. This game is definitely for teens, but my sibling is 12, and they love it. The age I put down can be very controversial. This game is exceptional, and the role models and messages are realistic and emotional. It seems like whoever made the review didn't fully understand the game.
Alright, first things first, the Common Sense rating is exaggerated and makes the game sound far worse than it truly is.
