About this game
Being an adult sucks! Life was so much easier when Akiko was saving the world with her magical girl squad, the Sentinels of Justice. Now she’s stuck working a boring retail job, watching the days creep closer to Y2K. She’s lost touch with her high school friends, her powers, and herself. Worst of all...
MAGIC IS DISAPPEARING
When Akiko realizes her healing magic is fading, she knows it's a sign of trouble. But things only get worse from there — her old teammates are affected too and soon the greater populace of the city! As Akiko, with help from the Sentinels, track down what's happening to magic (and who might be behind it) before it's too late.
Meet the Sentinels
Reconnect with your former teammates! All the Sentinels have moved on from magical girl life in their own way. Spend your free time getting closer to them (and even finding love!) with optional routes between your work day and your magical girl sleuthing.But the Sentinels aren't the only ones you'll meet! Hang out with your Glamour Pop work wife and avoid running into your ex, Solaire Blaze (don't even get us started!).
Go to Work!?
Even former magical girls have to pay rent! Go to your shift at Glamour Pop: the high-end, low-paying retail job that you got after high school. Deal with the demands of the customers and if successful, you might just have more energy to hang with your friends! Plus, you wouldn't want to get on the bad side of Glamour Pop's CEO Anna Lee…
