"AYAKAisDEAD" is an adventure game set in the modern day.
◆ Story
One day, my dearest friend passed away.
It was an unexpected accident—she must have still had so many things she wanted to do…
I was asked to sort through her belongings.
As I picked up each item and drifted into thought, memories of her came flooding back.
Good memories, bad memories… none of them mean anything anymore to someone who’s no longer alive.
All I can do for her now is to carry those memories as I go on living.
…But lately, something feels strange.
A restless feeling deep in my chest—like she’s still here, close by, even though she’s supposed to be dead.
A shadow moving in the dark.
Something lurking in the silence.
Nightmares.
I hope it’s all just my imagination…
But could she have resented me without my realizing it?
I just want to keep the memories we shared… as good memories.
