Esper X Guide
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
The world needs the spiritually gifted espers to fight off monsterous aberrations with their explosive powers.
Espers need guides to purify their spirits from corrosive effects of using their abilities and return them to a state of equilibrium.
Guides need... a steady payout while pressed by the weight of corporatism where people are graded and discarded like commodities.
Welcome to guideverse.
