New Game in the World of Dan-Katsu
Dan-Katsu follows Zephyrus, a gamer who has already poured over 8,000 hours into the legendary game Dungeon Shuukatsu no Susume (a.k.a. Dan-Katsu). Drawn into that game world himself, he starts over from the beginning: choosing a job, recruiting friends, forming a party, and challenging dungeons.
