Plot
edit"Belles' Hells" are spiritual realms created by the powerful emotions, or "Delusions", of various girls. However, the Delusions manifest as physical beings, or Klesha, who try to stop the protagonist and steal their body. One such Klesha is Poisonette, who steals the protagonist's body at the start of the game, but makes them work with her to purify the other Klesha and save the girls they belong to.[3]
Gameplay
editThere are five major areas of the game that the player must beat.[4]
Reception
editThe game has been compared to a fusion of a third-person shooter and Qix. Areas consisting of poison swamps must be rounded off to "purify" and beat them.[5]
