Seraphic Blue Wiki



Seraphic Blue (also SeraBlue, セラフィっくブルー、セラブルー) is an epic JRPG created by Tempura (also known as Sakaki) with RPGMaker2000. The game was released in 2004 and became pretty popular in Japanese gaming communities, though it hasn't got much attention in the West. More polished version of the game aka Seraphic Blue: Director's Cut was released by Tempura in 2006.

Seraphic Blue is recognized by it's hard difficulty, complex battle system with such unusual features as "Battlefield Elements" and "Supplement system", long playtime (50-60 hours for average player) and, mostly, by it's pessimistic and dark plot, touching such uncomfortable themes as suicide, nihilism, child abuse, bioethical problems (cloning, abortions, euthanasia etc.), religion and war. In addition, the game includes many unusually long cutscenes, with a duration variety from 20 minutes up to hour and a half.

English translation of the game, made by eplipswich and kumada, was released in 2014.
