About the Game

Misaki, a young girl, moves to the rural town where her grandmother lives.
As her new life begins, she is drawn into the town’s long‑standing Flower Festival.
On the day of the festival, before she realizes it, Misaki has wandered into a sinister otherworld known as the “In‑Between.”

As everyday life warps and an eerie presence spreads through the town, Misaki roams in search of a way back to her original world.
Flight and exploration, choices and discovery—by collecting hidden items and fragments of memory scattered around the town, she forges ahead through a world steeped in fear and mystery.
Which path to take is up to the player. Your choices will greatly change how the story ends.

Key Features

  • An exploration‑driven adventure set in a disturbing residential neighborhood

  • Chase action that lets you feel the looming terror with simple controls

  • Branching narrative shaped by item collection and player choice

  • A multi‑ending system playable in short sessions

In a town where the otherworld and reality intersect, a story filled with truth and terror begins.
