Players will assume the roles of the two main protagonists of Sea of Stars; Zale who has traded in his signature sword to become a juggler and Valere who sets aside her staff to dazzle as an acrobat. The duo will fight alongside a newcomer Arty, an artificial mechanized laser-wielding sharpshot.

From the Gematsu press release “Throes of the Watchmaker”‘s cinematic budget is equivalent to that of the main game, allowing Sabotage to richly realize key narrative moments” The title also features a unique score from Sea of Stars lead composer Eric W. Brown in collaboration with Yasunori Mitsuda of Chrono Trigger fame.
