About the Game

"Every object has its own story. What kind of story do you want to create?"

The Counseling Office at the End of the Path is a healing adventure simulation game where you have heartfelt conversations with villagers, deduce their hidden emotions, and craft custom magic items to heal their wounds.

Instead of rapid growth or fierce competition, embark on a journey of empathy and comfort.

Unlock Hearts with Conversation and Deduction

There are neighbors in the village living with deep worries, such as Luna, a painter in a slump, and Elliot, a retired principal pondering his usefulness. Talk to them, record clues in your 'Regular Customer Notebook', deduce their emotions, and find the exact solution they need.

Magic Recipes that Move the Heart

Grow plants in your workshop's greenhouse and gather ingredients by communing with nature in the forest. Directly combine and craft warm tea, mysterious ink, and scented candles using the collected ingredients. The objects containing your sincerity become the medium to heal someone's wounds.

Slow Life at Your Own Pace

There is no combat, no time limit, and no pressure of failure here. Take a walk along the rainy path and listen to the sound of the flowing river to enjoy the game at your own pace. Emotional pixel graphics and calm piano melodies will comfort your weary heart.

Decorate Your Own Cozy Magic Workshop

Expand and decorate your magic workshop to your taste with rewards earned from solving residents' requests. You can freely place furniture in any location you want to complete a comfortable resting place filled with your own sensibility.
