The second title in the role-playing series from Artdink, released in 1994 for FM-Towns and PC98. Like other Lunatic Dawn games, Lunatic Dawn II is, despite its Japanese origins, an exploration-oriented Western-style RPG. There is no main story line in the game, beside the cryptic mentioning of a legendary group of heroes who fought demons and as a result became demons themselves in the introduction sequence. There are no "main goal" in the game, and no plot-advancing events; it is entirely dedicated to free-form exploration and role-playing.
