Our take on I am Setsuna
The presentation leans heavily on nostalgia, emotional drama, and its Chrono Trigger connection. That framing gives less attention to the practical shape of the adventure: the journey follows one central sacrifice narrative, with the battle system described mainly through its inspiration.
What is I am Setsuna?
I am Setsuna follows a young woman chosen as a sacrifice after a fiend becomes violent ahead of schedule.
Setsuna travels with her safeguards toward the distant land where the ceremony will take place, seeking to preserve peace for the island's people. The game presents a story-focused RPG shaped by classic Japanese role-playing games, with a battle system influenced by Chrono Trigger. Character designs and varied locations support its nostalgic presentation, while the narrative centers on Setsuna's strength, duty, and sorrow. The journey focuses on the custom of offering a sacrifice once each decade and the consequences of that tradition when the fiend's behavior changes.
