Different battle system This battle machanic encourages you to make critical STAB, back STAB, and keep PARRY to make the EXECUTION HIT, and use your GUN properly, not encourage to fight directly with normal melee attack.

Item transfer system Collect different items on the road and transfer them into valuable resource, like different kinds of bullets or herbs for example. Multi-Endings More than 4 defferent endings. The first time playing takes about 5-10 hours. If you trigger some special endings, it would be much shorter or much longer.
