Synopsis
Summer 1995. You return to the secluded village of Iwao, surrounded by mountains, due to your grandfather's critical illness. An ancient shrine in the village is said to seal away the legendary yokai "Tsuchigumo". As the annual "Mushi Okuri Festival" approaches, the ritual flames threaten to awaken a millennium-old curse...

"When eerie echoes resound from the cave, every villager lowers their gaze"
In the shrine's flickering torchlight, the maiden chants unspeakable prayers. Scattered archives, midnight bonfires of forbidden objects...
As the ritual draws near, you begin to realize—
The fractures in your memory hold the key to tearing open the village's veil of darkness.
