Synopsys

Diatima, or Dia for her friends, never asked to be an outcast.
In a society where your entire life can be decided by a single event, Dia got the short end of the stick in the genetic lo.ttery.
The day of the Awakening was supposed to grant her powers, to give her direction, a purpose...but on that fateful day, something went terribly wrong.
Her Awakening failed, making her a statistical anomaly. A Powerless.
The Matrons High Council, the governing body of the Matriarchy, didn’t know what to do with her.
According to the assessment conducted by a supercomputer capable of analyzing a person’s hidden potential, Dia was supposed to be a Breeder, but that's neither a job nor a vocation; it’s a punishment only reserved for hardcore criminals and traitors.
Faced with a dilemma, the Matrons eventually decided to train her as a fighter to help in the war against the Matriarchy’s old foe: The Spawn.
A war that the Matriarchy was slowly losing.
Well aware that the Matrons could change their minds at any time, turning her into a Breeder, Dia was resolved to do everything in her power to prove her worth, to show everyone that the assessment was wrong...
...but then the Spawn attacked her colony world, and everything changed.

The Setting

The visual novel is set in a dystopian alternate reality in which most nations are ruled by unelected bureaucrats while the government's political power is extremely limited.
In particular, the game takes place in San Donato city, twenty years after the events narrated in Luna's fall from grace.

You don't need to have previously played Luna's fall from grace to enjoy Diatima's isekai (though it's recommended).

Genres

Sci-fi, supernatural, transported to another world.

N.B.

Since I am still working on it, the Synopsys (and maybe the banner/image) is subject to change.
