Summary pulled directly from Steam - Some text may only be applicable to Steam platform

In the Kingdom of Viktor, a group of cadets is finishing their training to become knights. Not many make their way through the grueling training the school demands, but Clacier and Annette are among the top of the graduating class, ready to make their mark on the world!

However, fate has something different in store for these two friends. Mysterious beasts have been appearing throughout the land, and with many young knights falling in battle against these unimaginable horrors, it doesn't take long for them to start losing their friends from the Royal Knight Academy as well.

Even worse, while monsters roam the lands, mankind can't help but fight among themselves. Soon enough, Clacier and Annette find themselves driven to separate paths that place them on different sides of the growing conflict. How will their story end?


Your choices shape the story in this JRPG! Depending on your actions, victories, and defeats, Clacier can end up on entirely different paths. Will you be a noble knight or adopt more cunning methods to reach your goals?

Ideology in Friction is based around one-on-one encounters and features animated combat. While traveling the world, you can either take on enemies directly or avoid them by dashing past them, so there are no bothersome random encounters to worry about!

What's more, you can take on all kinds of different quests from a wide variety of NPCs. Be they townsfolk or your friends from the Royal Knight Academy, you can get to know everyone. Who knows what you'll learn during your time in Viktor?
