Crisbell is an orphan girl who lives in the Narim orphanage. While she picked up a rose for Mother Superior, Matias, a talking frog, snatches it from her, taking her to Narim Cathedral, in order to unleash her powers. After the events, Matias asks Crisbell to accompany him to visit his friend Willhelm, a time mage, who explains more about her powers.
Later, Crisbell is commended in a series of missions, until she finds the village farm in flames and invaded by the goblins of the Empress of the Ages, whose her aim is to destroy the Crystallis Kingdom. To avoid a disastrous future, Crisbell returns to Willhelm to ask for help, and he tells her about the Sword. Crisbell is determined to use the powers of the Sword, becoming a warrior.
With the Sword in hand, she returns to the farm to battle the goblins. During the battle, Cristopher, a warrior who has been fighting the goblins, joins her. After a couple of battles, they are faced by the Empress of the Ages minions, the Volcano Sisters. Crisbell must use the powers of the cristals to help defeating they. After receiving several attacks, the sisters prefer to retire.

The game is a turn-based action RPG, along with the ability to time jump, both on the map and in-battle, affecting the gameplay. Each playable character has their own unique abilities.
The screen is split into three sections, showing the present in the center, the past on the left, and the future on the right. During the story, Crisbell must complete a series of missions with the help of Matias, where she must use the crystal powers to make time jumps and making some actions at the past or the future.
