Surge Concerto: Ciel Nosurge

Surge Concerto: Ciel no Surge is a three-dimensional adventure game in which we help to recover step by step the memory and memories of a mysterious girl named Ionsol. The Japanese studio Gust is responsible for creating the title. Akira Tsuchiya, the creator of the Ar Tonelico series, was in charge of its production, thanks to which Ciel no Surge has a similar climate and subject matter to this cycle, and its fans will find many recognizable references in the game. Ciel no Surge is the first game set in the universe of Surge Concerto, depicting the world threatened by apocalypse.

The action takes place on the planet La Ciel, which is threatened by the rising sun, which could soon absorb or burn the whole world. Two fighting groups emerged among its inhabitants, with a different perspective on how civilization can be saved. The first is to stop the catastrophe using magic, the second is in favour of using teleportation technology and transferring all people to another planet. The decision on this matter falls on the shoulders of interim President Ionsol. However, the girl does not have any memories. The player's task is to help her recover memory and save millions of people. To do this, as in the Ar Tonelico series, we "dive" into Ion's subconscious through the use of special computer terminals. Travelling through the world created in the heroine's imagination, we try to rebuild it, thus solving her inner dilemmas and restoring lost memories.

During the game we accompany Ion in her everyday activities. The game is linked to a real 24-hour clock and depending on the time you turn on the console, the girl can take care of e.g. eating, sleeping or cooking. The heroine is also able to create various kinds of objects, whose recipes she gets when we restore her memories. The title resembles to a large extent dating simulators such as Love Plus and is based on interactions and gaining / deepening the trust of a virtual character.

The graphic design combines high-quality three-dimensional models of characters and objects with two-dimensional backgrounds. During the game we are accompanied by music composed by the creators of game soundtracks from the Ar Tonelico label.
