Recursion

1000 or more years ago, the world was destroyed when creatures who came from somewhere within the planet (later to be called Lotriel) destroyed most of the land, leaving civilization on the brink of destruction. A being calling herself a goddess appeared, saying it happened once every 500 years. She chose a girl to gather four "Astra Stones" from four ancient structures that had seemingly appeared from nowhere all over the world. Once they were gathered, this goddess said, the barrier that had kept the Lotrians at bay could be restored

Her "Acolyte" failed.  Amidst the chaos, another was chosen and seemingly succeeded but by the time that happened it was much too late.

Since the incident many countless years ago, the interval has shortened to every 100 years or so. The entire planet knows an Acolyte's failure will most likely doom the planet forever but they have faith. Only one Acolyte ever failed and that was so long ago it might just be a story. A goddess surely wouldn't let the planet be destroyed, right?

Five years ago the new Acolyte, Nikki, was chosen. She, along with a few friends and some random guy they'll meet, will brave the Pilgrimage again. The goddess they meet, who calls herself M, isn't like they expected. At all. The events now set in motion may also be something no human (or goddess) would wish to come to pass.

-Turn-based RPG with active-time system. When the bar fills, a move can be chosen and after filling again, is used. It's ATB for you jarpy-gee players out there.

-There's only 120 days before the world will end. Don't waste too much time but don't get too stressed. (Amount may change as development continues)

-Multiple endings

"Every 100 years or so, a girl is chosen to visit four elemental shrines to gather Astra Stones, based on the four classical elements. Then they schlep them up to me to reinforce the barrier over 'Lotriel,' as people started calling it. Why do they do it? Apart from avoiding an apocalypse... again? I don't know. Or... maybe I just don't want to say. Uh... anyway..."  -The goddess M
