The moment you step off at the nearest station—

The village is eerily empty.

The only person you encounter is a lone young girl.

The villagers... have turned into mysterious, monstrous creatures.

—Escape this cursed village together with the girl.

Why did the villagers become monsters?

And... can you ever return to your own time?
