'The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden' Story: What We Know So Far

The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden mobile game was first announced by Crunchyroll back in September, alongside its animated series premiere.

Since the mobile game showcases additional lore from the web novel series, players can anticipate more background on The Eminence in Shadow's official synopsis:

"Even in his past life, Cid's dream wasn't to become a protagonist or a final boss. He'd rather lie low as a minor character until it's prime time to reveal he's a mastermind...or at least, do the next best thing-pretend to be one! And now that he's been reborn into another world, he's ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down. Well, as luck would have it, these imaginary adversaries turn out to be the real deal and everyone knows the truth but him!"
