Time and Eternity (Japanese: Toki to Eien ~Toki Towa~ (時と永遠〜トキトワ〜?), sometimes called Toki to Towa) is an animated role-playing game for the PlayStation 3. It uses 3D models for backgrounds and hand-drawn 2D sprites for characters and enemies. The story is centered on a princess, Toki, and her alter ego, Towa. The theme of "time" plays an important role, and is also utilized in the game's action-oriented battle system.
The game begins on the eve of Princess Toki’s wedding to her knight fiancé, Zack. After meeting up in their marital home the two are interrupted by Toki’s friends; the energetic young Enda, the wealthy noble Reijo and their clumsy wedding planner Wedi. After Reijo teases Zack about his obvious intention to have sex with Toki, Toki mentions that she had snuck out of the palace some time ago to visit the psychic, Makimona, who told her there would be a murder at her wedding, though the girls dismiss it as superstitious nonsense.
The following day Zack is killed protecting Toki from a group of assassins who raid the ceremony but Toki drives the remaining attackers away when she undergoes a strange shift in personality. She then casts a spell which sends her and Zack back in time to six months before the wedding in order to prevent the attack, though the spell has an unusual affect on the previously deceased Zack who instead possesses Toki’s pet dragon, Drake.
After quizzing Makimona about the cause of the attack, Makimona reveals that she is in fact a fraud, and her prediction about an attack on the wedding was a blind guess. Confused, Toki and Drake (Zack) return home to consult their friends, and Toki reveals the source of her power. She is in fact a ‘Dual Soul’ (Two souls within the same body) and periodically transforms into Towa, the alternate, more aggressive Toki from the wedding raid. She also possesses time magic, a secret art known only by those of the royal bloodline.
Enda escorts Towa to a back alley where assassins are said to hide out in hopes of interrogating them about their wedding raid plans. They meet and battle Ricardo who reveals that he is an assassin-fan and not a true assassin. He does however agree to infiltrate the assassins’ main headquarters in hope of wooing Towa, whom he instantly falls in love with.
