Game description: Lead a group of high school students with a dangerous extracurricular activity: exploring the mysterious tower Tartarus and fighting the sinister Shadows during the Dark Hour, a frozen span of time imperceptible to all but a select few. However, the end of their quest is no longer the end of the story--witness for the first time the aftermath of the final battle and the students' struggle to find meaning in their new lives.

(BIOS: USA 2.00) Plays amazingly well at 60fps at all times and without any serious glitch I noticed. Interlacing: Auto, D3D Res: Custom 1920x1080, Shade Boost: 60/50/50, FXAA: "Active", FX Shader: "Active", Text Filt: "Active/Half", Anisotropic Filt: 16x
Minor Bugs:
•Experienced Texture corruption when changing scenes, but solved it by changing the "D3D Internal Resolution" to "Custom" and forcing "Custom resolution" to "1920x1080"
•Some 2D elements are a bit streched, but 3D elements are perfect and with the correct aspect ratio. (Related to the 16:9 ratio I'm using)
•Minor Transparency related issue: In battle, character shadows are a bit glitched (Related to the HD Resolution I'm using). Can be solved by switching to Software mode (But I prefer to live with it and play in HD)
