About the Game


A girl, draped in mystery and chased by an evil fate, escapes from a frozen land. As she flees she meets the Witch of the forest.
Now, a year later, with her memory gradually returning, she is forced to make an important decision.
"...no matter what you choose, I won't stop you."
The witch said, solemnly holding a letter tightly in her hand.

The girl, struggling between Time and Memory, ventures forth to find where it is that she truly belongs.
