About the Game

Just take a balloon ride and use your sycophancy. That's all I had to do, and I should be fine.

I was naive.

The rich man was erased. Why? No, more importantly, who killed him?

Tokachi, you wouldn't have a problem with that, would you?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Your memories are reset every week, and you always return to being 18 years old. As detective "tokachi," you descend upon the mysterious remote island of Soraga Island.

This game is a new type of chat/sound novel that progresses through dense text and dialogue in the style of amagi hazime.

Through the eyes of tokachi, players will relive the events that take place on the island and at home.

Take on the challenge of a 2-hour, cinematic mystery while enjoying the music that was commissioned and prepared specifically for this game!
