The protagonist\u2019s friend has been kidnapped and taken to a planet ruled under a dictatorship where they do not accept people who are different from themselves. In order to save his friend, the protagonist must solve a variety of quizzes about diversity and inclusion, and about the culture and local specialties of Ibaraki Prefecture. Most of the quizzes comprise simple questions like \u201cWhich member of the family should do the housework?\u201d and \u201cWhat is the name of the famous waterfall in Ibaraki Prefecture?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibaraki Prefecture is known for taking an active approach when it comes to policies related to diversity, inclusion, and the advancement of women in society. This quiz game forms part of the effort to further deepen people\u2019s understanding of these subjects. The game was developed by MagicalRod, a studio based in Ibaraki Prefecture that is best known for porting titles such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms V<\/em> and Uncharted Waters IV<\/em> to smartphones.
