The BLUE REFLECTION series began with the release of the first game in 2017, which told the story of an injured former ballerina as she used her powers as a magical Reflector to form bonds with others and fight off the looming threat to the world. From there, this RPG series expanded into an anime and a mobile game release, as well as a sequel console release.
BLUE REFLECTION Quartet contains all four of these emotional stories in a single collection. New features make the series more accessible than ever before, including a reference which both explains the setting for new players and provides a deeper look into the world for returning fans. The games within this collection can be played in any order.
