Blue Reflection

What it is

Blue Reflection is a role-playing game from Gust Co. Ltd., released in 2017 for Windows and PlayStation Vita. It follows Hinako Shirai as she returns to school after recovering from a serious leg injury. The magical sisters Yuzu and Lime give her the power to become a Reflector, setting her on a path to protect the world while pursuing a dream she had thought lost.

Play moves between ordinary school life and the Common, a place where Hinako searches for items and fights battles to complete missions or help fellow students. After lessons, she can build friendships and take on missions. Repeating these school visits and trips to the Common advances the story, eventually bringing Sephira into the real world. Hinako confronts these forces in battles tied to both her personal wish and the fate of the world. The Windows version includes single-player play, Steam Achievements, partial controller support, and Family Sharing; a gamepad is recommended.
