Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space
"A time-traveling JRPG with a story-driven approach to the gacha genre"
Score
4.5/10
Overview
Players awaken in a ruined world without memories, guided by a talking cat named Ramiu. This journey through Antiquity, the Present, and the Future defines the core experience of Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space. Masato Kato wrote the script while Yasunori Mitsuda composed the score, bringing veterans from Xenogears and Chrono Trigger to a mobile platform. The narrative relies on complex causality where actions in one era ripple into another, creating puzzles that require understanding how history shifts.
The original title launched in Japan on April 12, 2017, before expanding globally to iOS and Android devices in January 2019. A Windows version arrived later to accommodate larger screens. In September 2026, the studio released Another Eden Begins for Nintendo Switch and PC. This new build removes the gacha monetization model entirely, offering a single-player experience that consolidates popular story arcs from the first decade of service.
Gameplay
Combat unfolds in real-time turn-based battles where players assemble a party to fight alongside them. Characters execute special moves called Chain Attacks to deal massive combo damage. The Time Skip mechanic lets the player character age or revert to past states depending on the current era, which often unlocks new dialogue options or solves environmental puzzles. Players gather materials to upgrade gear and recruit units through a gacha system in the original mobile version.
Story
A mysterious disaster known as the Great Catastrophe has ravaged the world when the protagonist wakes up with no memory. Joined by Ramiu and other companions, the group travels through time to restore the timeline. The plot explores themes of loss and redemption as characters interact with their past selves. Events in the future can change the present, forcing players to make choices that alter the course of history across multiple eras.
