Chantelise is a production that mixes RPG mechanics with strong dexterity aspects. This is another game by the independent Japanese band Easy Game Station, the creators of the popular Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale.

The game tells the story of two sisters. Mother always warned them not to leave the house when the red moon reigns in the sky. Unfortunately, the younger girl, Chante, did not listen to her mother's advice and one night, when the moon was shining red more than ever before, she escaped into the forest in hiding. Her older sister, Elise, worried, ran to look for her. The next morning they both woke up in the middle of the clearing and to their surprise they discovered that Chante had turned into a small winged elves. Now the sisters will have to embark on a dangerous expedition to discover how to bring Chante back into her former form.
