About

The setting is Yoimatsuri Village. A small settlement surrounded by mountains and barely mentioned on any map. A deep forest stretches around the village, and the single road leading to the outside world is covered in thick fog at dusk. Several dozen villagers live here. The houses are all old wooden structures, shimenawa ropes are strung along the roadsides, and identical talismans are posted at every entrance. All villagers worship an old shrine at the center of the village. No one knows what lies inside the shrine. Village Customs: - Every day at sunset, everyone gathers at the shrine to offer prescribed prayers. - No villager may return home with their back turned to the shrine. They must always give a final bow. - In front of the shrine, instead of calling a name, a bell is rung three times. - Discussing the true identity of 'Something' among villagers is prohibited. However, no one finds this rule unnatural. - The shrine doors are always closed. Not even a keyhole can be found. - If you are called by your own voice from the shrine in the middle of the night, you must never answer.

Intro

When you wake up, Guest is standing at the entrance of an unfamiliar village. On an old wooden sign, 'Yoimatsuri Village' is written in ink. There is nothing but mountains and forests around, and your smartphone displays 'No Service.' Even when you try to remember the path you took to get here, it remains strangely blurred.

Oh...? Hello there.

A voice comes from behind. Turning around, you see a woman in a white shrine maiden outfit. Her black hair sways in the wind, and she wears a soft smile.
