A boy and girl return to their lost hometown in search of truth and to bring back what they hold dear. Story The town of Hallfein once rested on the border between three provinces, prospering thanks to mining and trade. However, a mysterious tragedy struck the peaceful town, and most of its residents completely vanished. Hallfein became a restricted area, and access was forbidden to all except investigators from the capital. Years passed, and the restrictions were eventually lifted, after which plans to restore the town were put together. Taking this opportunity, a young man and woman follow their hearts and return to Hallfein after being forced to leave it so long ago; the young woman wanting to restore the shop previously run by her missing grandfather, and the young man hoping to learn more about the items left to him by his departed father. They both also seek to learn why the town's residents vanished that day. The two will meet and set out on a journey in search of the truth together. However, neither could imagine just what would await them on that journey. Field Like Atelier Resleriana, this adventure takes place in the continent of Lantarna.
