Web-swing a whole metropolis.

The street itself is a weapon.

Four Espers, swapped live.

The personnel files

First, you swing.

Grapple the skyline Spider-Man style; momentum is the whole transit system.

Then, you fight.

Chain elements across four swapped Espers — and use the street as a weapon.

Then, you live in it.

Jobs, fame, housing, crime — the city runs whether you're on duty or not.

Nobody pays.

No character gacha. The roster is earned in play, full stop.

January 15. Case opens.
