From the Steam store

Boku, a young boy from Tokyo, is visiting his aunt in the countryside. Excited to explore his new surroundings, he befriends a shrine maiden named Ayane and enjoys visiting her during his short vacation.

One day, while visiting Ayane as usual, Boku touches a mysterious object in the shrine, accidentally breaking a seal that unleashes vengeful spirits, called Youkai. Hearing Ayane scream, he rushes to her aid and learns about the disaster he has set in motion. To restore balance, Boku must collect the Three Treasures and gather the talismans needed to seal the Youkai away again. If he fails, the spirits will wreak havoc, and Ayane will suffer because of her heightened sensitivity to them.

Ayane directs him to the school where the Youkai are gathering. Now, Boku faces a critical hurdle: will he succumb to the spirits, or will he make the right choices to protect Ayane and save the countryside?

Explore and search for clues in the neighborhood, the shrine, and the school.

Encounter a variety of well-known Youkai and ghosts from Japanese urban legends, and uncover how to obtain the talismans and the Three Treasures, essential for sealing the spirits back into the green orb at the shrine.

Will you make the right choices, or let the spirits lead you deeper down the rabbit hole?

Investigation and Exploration

Explore the school grounds and speak with the spirits to gather clues about the whereabouts of the talismans and the sacred treasures, which are crucial for sealing the Youkai. Return them to the shrine and, along with Ayane, face this difficult situation together.

Scary Encounters

With the school grounds now teeming with spirits, watch your every step and stay on high alert, you never know what might be lurking around the corner! If you're not careful, you could stumble right into a Youkai’s trap, and wriggling your way out won't be easy.

Choices Matter

Resist the spirits' lure, or let them devour your mind. Your choices will determine Ayane's fate and lead to different endings in the story.
