This decrypted ROM lets you play the game on Windows using the Citra 3DS emulator.

Gameplay Overview
Shin Sekaiju no Meikyuu: Millennium no Shoujo is a role-playing game that puts you in control of a guild of adventurers exploring the Yggdrasil Labyrinth and other mysterious dungeons. The game is played from a first-person perspective, and you move in grid-based steps. As you explore, you'll need to map out each floor, noting shortcuts, resource points, and dangerous areas. Combat is turn-based, with your party facing off against monsters and bosses. You'll manage HP, TP (skill points), and items to survive.
The game features multiple character classes, each with its own skill tree. You can create custom characters, choose their class, and develop their abilities as they level up. The story revolves around a girl named ... (the Millennium no Shoujo), who has a connection to the labyrinth. As you progress, you'll uncover her past and the truth behind the dungeon.
For those familiar with Etrian Odyssey, the core loop will feel familiar: explore, map, fight, and return to town to restock and heal. The game adds its own twists with the story and character interactions.
