The youngest child of a mysteriously disappeared family didn't join the family on a journey to a far and unknown place to board an odd ark because she had to keep on cultivating their land. An humble peasant spread the word: a creature coming from the underworld took away the ark!
The girl must have been touched by luck, and she alone is the only one who can save her family safely back home.
Ikai gameplay involves moving around in eight directions to defend yourself against creatures coming from the underworld. You can use scrolls with magician runes, throwing cards, and other weapons to fend off the enemy.
The magic cards and spells have a limited range or last for a short time but can be powered up by collecting the runes found after destroying red flames-shaped enemies or waving a black and white flag. Along the way, you'll find items like pearls that can be used to defeat the creatures.
A round consists of multiple scenes (areas), each completed when the Scene Guard is defeated and when a round is finished. Completing a round frees a family member who returns safely home.
