In a closed beta test that began October 2, players could experience the main story set in a 1989 Tokyo where magic users live in secret, a turn-based battle system with tactical elements, character development, and free time with magic users. The story follows a civil servant Chief at the Special Ward Agency.","whyItMatters":"The CBT shows a game built on an administrative premise, where comedic daily life with magic users gives way to the reality that sits close to them, with visuals strong but first-test rough edges still visible.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe closed beta test for Astrae Oratio ran from October 2 and covered the content that shapes the game: the main story, turn-based battles, character development, and free time with magic users. The setting is Tokyo in the \u0026#39;89 era, where magic users exist in secret, and the player follows the Chief, an ordinary civil servant at the Special Ward Agency, an organization that administratively manages those users.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe prologue covers the Chief\u0026#39;s encounter with Director Hirakishi Toa, whose sloppy handover leaves the agency\u0026#39;s work to be done almost by feel. Thanaka Erin, Fujiharu Riria and Anna M. Battenberg appear in Minato Ward, while Akitsu Akina and others at the Akina Kaidan Research Institute appear in Shinjuku Ward.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Astrae Oratio's closed beta gives players a civil servant's job rather than a hero's: the Special Ward Agency framing is why the 1989 Tokyo setting reads bureaucratic before it reads magical.","twitterPost":"Astrae Oratio makes the player a civil servant, so the 1989 Tokyo magic premise runs through paperwork, not destiny.","threadsPost":"Astrae Oratio's beta puts the player behind a desk at the Special Ward Agency, and the 1989 Tokyo setting follows from that: magic users stay hidden because the bureaucracy is built to file them away. Dynamis One's main story leans on the job title before it leans on the spell list.","newsletterBlurb":"Astrae Oratio, developed by Dynamis One and serviced by NC, held a closed beta test from October 2. The report covers the main story set in a 1989 Tokyo where magic users exist in secret, a turn-based battle system, and chapters following the Chief at the Special Ward Agency. Visuals are strong, but the build shows rough edges typical of a first test.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"Inside\",\"url\":\"https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2026/10/07/188896.html\",\"title\":\"Astrae Oratio CBT Play Report: Working as a Civil Servant with Girls in a Strange Tokyo Where \\\"Magic × Administration\\\" Intersect\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4663,"outputTokens":649,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1791368542,"createdAt":"2026-10-07T10:18:11.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-07T10:21:12.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-07T10:21:12.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_0e6753955ab41566d9ee7f91","canonicalTitle":"『アストラエ・オラティオ』CBTプレイレポ。“魔法×行政”の奇妙な東京で少女たちと働く公務員生活が始まる","representativeArticleId":"a_ee538624cefa8affaf70ee7d","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"Astrae Oratio\"],\"studios\":[\"Dynamis One\"],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"review\",\"domain\":\"games\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-10-07T09:05:03.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-07T09:05:03.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-07T10:21:06.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"Inside","url":"https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2026/10/07/188896.html","title":"『アストラエ・オラティオ』CBTプレイレポ。“魔法×行政”の奇妙な東京で少女たちと働く公務員生活が始まる"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["Astrae Oratio"],"studios":["Dynamis One"],"people":[],"type":"review","domain":"games","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":null}
