“Arcaea” was first launched for iOS and Android in March 2017. It is a “new dimension rhythm game,” which features a song list created by artists from Japan and across the entire world. The game had over 4.5 million downloads as of May 2020.
The game follows the story of two young girls, who wander in a broken world filled with remnants of its former self: Arcaea.

Over time, the girls begin to notice inconsistencies in the Arcaea that choose them and develop conflicting views about the world as it once was.
