About this game
Set in Showa-era Ise-Shima, this supernatural adventure puts observation at the center of its mystery. Rotate the view to inspect your surroundings, speak with characters and consult the files and profiles gathered during the investigation. The story follows several viewpoints as their accounts and motives intersect. Progress unfolds through a story chart that opens as you advance. When a thread reaches a dead end, revisit the information you have collected and look for something overlooked. Alongside the investigation, an underwater gathering minigame asks you to approach sea creatures and catch them before your oxygen runs out. Panoramic backgrounds drawn from photographs of local scenery give these investigations a specific geographical setting.
