You begin in Paseo, accompanied by Nei. Take a look around and feel free to speak with
the other citizens. You may enter many of the buildings and will soon learn to recognize
them based upon their signage. Stop by the library to learn more about the planet. Check
in at the Clone Lab if one of your comrades is killed. There are also weapons shops,
armories, tool shops, hospitals, and teleport stations. And don’t forget the Data Memory
vault—you’ll need to store your memories here in order to save your game!
Others will join your party throughout the game. Be sure to equip them with the proper
weapons and armor. When engaged in battle, you’ll control each member’s actions—
ordering them to attack (battle), use magic (technique), change weapons, defend, or run.

In the vastness of space, the Algo Star System floats like a dust fleck in a sunbeam.
Cruise closer. Around the parent star, Algo, whirl its three children: Palm, Mota, and Dezo.
Closest to Algo is Palm, the economic and intellectual stronghold of the system. Thinkers
and rulers live here, high in ivory towers, away from the hubbub of everyday life. Next is
Mota, the shining jewel. This fertile farm planet is a tropical paradise, peaceful, prosper-
ous, and happy. On Mota, everyone has everything they want. No one has to work hard—
or even work at all. Dezo is the farthest out—and the most mysterious. Not much is
known about this dark planet. Among the planets, Mota’s history is the most troubled.
From far in her past comes the legend of Alis, the courageous young woman who fiercely
fought—and succeeded—in ridding Mota of the evil oppressor Lassic.
But now another tragedy oppresses Mota. This one is far worse than Lassic, being not a
person, but an unknown evil! Everything is affected by it: the climate, the machinery, even
nature. Tour Mota and experience weird research labs, creepy dungeons, catastrophic
floods, and exploding planets! Thrill to Mother Brain blowing her circuits! Chill to
Climatrol in chaos! Sweat when the killer lurks in the tunnel!
Travel light—in Knife Boots and a Carbonsuit. Stalk boldly into unguarded wilds armed
with magic: Eijia, Foi, and Zan. Stay for lunch with savage Biomonsters: Head Rot, Pug
Hit, and Slugmess. Planet-trot with friends: Hugh the Biologist, Shir the Thief, Kain the
Wrecker. Trade Titanigear with Rudo the Hunter.
What’s happened to Mother Brain, the controlling entity on Mota? Why have things gone
so horribly wrong? Who is smart enough to solve the riddle? And who is brave enough to
save the planet? The future of the Algo Star System is up to you!
