Even though it is directly connected to the more serious Xak storyline, Fray has a less serious tone and light-hearted comedic approach to telling the story.

It was originally released for the MSX2 and was later ported to several different systems, among them MSX Turbo R, PC-98, PC Engine (as Fray CD), and Game Gear.

Battles are in real-time as Fray walks around on automatic vertically scrolling game map as well as the monster characters.

Starting from the very end of Xak, Fray goes attends a magical university for three years to learn how to become a full-fledged sorceress.

The course of the game takes Fray to several places along the way including various villages, an ancient ruins, a lake, the center of a volcano, and a floating fortress.
