8 itemsAbout the Game
You wake up in the hospital with no memories. They tell you that you were found among the survivors of a landslide that buried a small village called Inusai, with only some spare change in your pocket. Nobody knows who you are or where you came from, but you are undoubtedly connected to the village in some way. Determined to uncover what happened to you, you set off to investigate the site, hoping that something will trigger at least some fleeting memory. Everything becomes even more complicated when you discover the village is still completely intact and its residents are behaving as if nothing happened. Very soon, however, you realize you can no longer leave, and that nothing is as it seems.
In this visual novel, take on the role of Yuuki and work alongside Ihayase Araka, sent by The Exorcist Association to investigate the eerie village that should have been buried beneath the landslide.

Make choices along the way that will shape your path and determine your success—or your demise.
