This version of Valis is still primarily a side-scrolling platformer which stars a Japanese schoolgirl named {{nihongo|Yūko Asou|麻生 優子||Asou Yūko}}. Yuko must a mystical sword called Valis to defend Earth, the spirit world and the dream world. Unlike the original version, Yuko must explore several different regions which are composed of intersecting streets and paths, many of which are not straight. While you may enter one path heading East, you may exit that path heading North, and there is no visual indication besides the map to let you know that your orientation has changed, making charting your progress through the levels extremely difficult. Therefore, finding the map is one of the most important tasks in the game so that you don't wind up completely lost and running in circles. Unfortunately, finding the location of many items is quite a difficult task as well. | This version of Valis is still primarily a side-scrolling platformer which stars a Japanese schoolgirl named {{nihongo|Yūko Asou|麻生 優子||Asou Yūko}}.
