In the original game players take on the role of a high school student and his friends Yuzuru Atsuta and Ichiro Dazai as they find themselves caught in a war between angels and demons following a cataclysmic event. During this event, the protagonist merges with a being called Aogami and turns into a being called a Nahobino.
From there, the protagonist discovers a way back to Tokyo and is recruited into an international organization called Bethel to keep humanity out of the war between demons and angels.
