At the beginning of the game you realize that you have a magic pins that allows you to read mind of people. As you progress, you learn that you participate in a macabre game. The Reapers are the masters of the game and are there to challenge you. If you are unable to perform the mission they gave you once a day, you die. To break this game, you have to finish the week without losing a single mission.

However, it will not be easy. Indeed, monsters named Noise are on your path. So, you must use powers of different pins as a weapon. Some serve like a sword, some will throw peaks of ice, some will move enemies. There are many more to discover. You will also have a partner that you control during the battle at the same time as you. One is controlled by the stylus on the bottom screen and the other is controlled with the directional cross on the top screen. It requires a lot of coordination. That is this that makes this game so original and unique. It is a marvel thanks to a great plot and a perpetual action which won’t let you indifferent.
