Maidens of a Hollow Dream / 虚夢の乙女

Fierce battles between loin-cloth-clad girls!
The one and only maebari themed Yuri side-scrolling shooting game is finally here!

*What is a “maebari” you ask?

A maebari is a garment of advanced design and function meant to be affixed to the lower half of the body.
However, since they are prone to “accidents” one must always maintain the upmost grace and poise while wearing one.
Wear them carefully, and you will be well on your way to becoming a fully-fledged young maiden of the academy state!

Story

Thousands of years have passed since the destruction of mankind.
Giant beasts roam the earth, and order is divided into “academy states”, ruling territories governed by magical young maidens.
The “Art Club”, a group of Tsukishiro Academy students who don’t contribute to society and do nothing but read manga all day long, has just been informed that their club is to be disbanded. The only way for them to overcome this overwhelmingly desperate situation is to achieve victory over the other academy state clubs in a Beautiful Warriors Contest!
Representing the art club, Romi Shikisaki must team up with her best friend Manamo Kuriyama and embark on an epic battle to save their beloved way of life…

Gameplay

A side-scrolling shooting game where you blast away foes while simultaneously swapping between two distinct characters. Damaging enemies will build an “alchemy aura” around your character which transforms enemy projectiles into gems. Collect these gems to build a magic gauge that will allow you to unleash “Friendship magic”, an extravagant performance and powerful beam that obliterates surrounding enemy missiles and ships in mere seconds.
Aggressively plunge into barrages of enemy fire, and blast away defeating enemies with exceptionally satisfying force!
Level up quickly by achieving high-scoring combos, then enhance your characters with unlockable power-up items from the in-game store. A great mechanic for everyone from beginners to pros.
