The balance in the magical world of Cefiro is supported by the prayers of the lovely princess Emerald. When the evil Sage Master imprisoned her, the existence of the entire world was endangered.

This adaptation of the eponymous manga and anime series is an action game with light role-playing elements, somewhat similar in style to Zelda games. The protagonists are all the three girls, but the player can controls only one of them at a time. Each one has advantages and disadvantages, as well as different fighting styles: Hikaru uses swords, Umi a rapier, and Fuu a bow. The player advances through the game by exploring the world, talking to non-playable characters, and fighting enemies in real-time combat. There is no experience system; new abilities (among them swimming and jumping) are gained

It was followed by a 1997 sequel NIGHTRUTH: Explanation of the paranormal - "Futatsu Dake no Shinjitsu".
"Futatsu Dake no Shinjitsu" ("The Only Two Truths") is the third and final game in the Nightruth series, this time starring the youngest of Shinya's classmates, Ai Himekawa. The story focuses on her previously unexplained powers of precognition and telekinesis.
