Description:
Lunita is the next-in-line to become Merryday Village's Oracle, but she's severely lacking in motivation. During the Crescent Festival, the wicked Count Chroma attacks the village in order to claim a mysterious moon stone. Unfortunately, we will never see him get his comeuppance, since development was cancelled after the first chapter.

0:00 Recap
0:20 Merryday Village
When you're ready, talk to Minister Orange to start the fireworks.
Later that night, Chroma Tower appears near the village and a bunch of soldiers and robots appear. Astrid tells us to stay home while she fights them, but when she doesn't return, Rain goes after her. The purple stone, Violet, tells Lunita to use a shortcut to reach the tower faster. There's a secret switch behind the slime poster that opens a door on the roof.
Amos decides to leave the Sundown Squad in order to join Lunita.
8:04 Chroma Tower
There's a stealth minigame that's similar to what Zero had to go through in Soma Union.
Eventually, you'll learn a new field ability for Maru, which translates to a two-hit physical skill in battle.
At the second healing point/vending machine room, Rain will join the party. She has the ability to build robots that act at the end of the turn, but have a maintenance cost. It's the prototype to the aura skills in Soma Union.
You have to find three keycards to open the boss door. Surprisingly, there is only one miniboss guarding one of the cards.
19:54 Miniboss: Chroma Hoarder
21:53 Chroma Tower
25:22 Boss: Tetranome
The boss has 4 modes depending on the moon's phase. Magic mode is the most dangerous, so you may want to use Astral Advance to skip it. Defense mode is your opportunity to heal up if you really need it. Also, unlike me, remember that everyone should have an Astra skill that recovers MP, so don't just sit on huge amounts of Astra points.
34:51 Chroma Tower
Unfortunately, Count Chroma uses the power of the five Prism Stones to knock everyone down.
38:51 Boss: Count Chroma Round 1
His regular form is already decently strong, but once he transforms and uses the five stones, he'll wipe the party.
41:49 Lunar Resonators
Professor Tide uses a pair of devices to weaken Count Chroma's power, along with Astrid's help.
44:12 Boss: Count Chroma Round 2
This time, he'll wipe the party upon a full moon, but Lunita learns Astral Reverse, which turns back the moon's phase. Just don't use that during a Waning Moon, lol.
54:06 Astrid's Last Stand
Count Chroma still won't go down. You'll get a scripted fight between Astrid and Count Chroma, but the count uses a skill that knocks Astrid down to 1 HP and depletes her MP. This seems to be a staple among unbeatable Torch bosses. Astrid then uses Violet to unleash her strongest skill, but once the dust clears, Astrid, the tower, and Count Chroma are nowhere to be found.
57:20 Credits
That's one hell of a cliffhanger.
58:32 Sundown at Midnight
Turns out that right after Amos left, Nova, Klieg, and Fluoros got into a fight with Chroma soldiers. Afterwards, they fell into a random pit and into the Quiet Quarry.
