In early summer Shouwa 58, Hinamizawa village faces recurring tragedy. A death strikes in June, followed by a disappearance, tied to past unrest over a dam project. Lives shift overnight-some vanish, others appear where they shouldn't-leaving no escape from the inevitable.
This indie casual adventure challenges you to confront the cycle of mysterious events. Stand against the unfolding deaths and vanishings in the rural countryside. Fans of narrative-driven puzzles drawn to conspiracy and curse themes will find a gripping test of resolve.
The 58th year of Shouwa, early summer.
It’s June, and the summer heat has arrived earlier than it does most years.
By day there are crickets, and by night there are cicadas.
We’re in Hinamizawa, a small village in the countryside.
There are fewer than two thousand people here. But every year, there is an event.
This event is a mysterious death.
On a certain day in June, someone dies, and someone else goes missing.
The series of deaths is connected to the upheaval surrounding the dam construction project.
A murder case that was covered up is being reenacted.
Is it a conspiracy? A coincidence? Or perhaps a curse?
Someone who was supposed to be there isn’t.
Someone who wasn’t supposed to be there is.
Someone who was alive last night is dead now.
And someone who is here right now isn’t alive.
So, there is no way to avert tragedy. There is no choice but to give up.
But don’t give up.
Only you can stand up to this.
