Synopsis
Type-Moon characters compete in absurd contests to fulfill wishes during a decade-spanning dimensional crossover.
The Carnival Moment is a time when several narratives from Type-Moon's famous works intersect. It happens every decade in an entirely new dimension, and those who have never run into each other can meet.

In Carnival Phantasm, various characters are put into situations that ridicule their own worlds. Nevertheless, they all have the same objective: to win the contests by any means necessary!
