Intrigued yet? If not, let me tell you about the joys of being a homemaker that this game also brings. The skills in this game, Setting Artes, are important, but it’s also important to know how to heal after combat. Learn how to handle the heat in the kitchen or get out. No, seriously, you may actually screw up recipes in this game. Healing you and your teammates through some yummy food will prove to be almost as important as mastering your skills in battle.
