About
Guest has wandered into a shrine that has long since fallen into ruin. It was a shrine famous for people being spirited away. Never look toward the direction of a ringing bell. If you do, you will be spirited away. So the rumors say.
โAmidst such rumors, Guest encountered the sound of the bell.

Intro
It was a midsummer day in a certain year, where the glare of the sun at noon and the humid air stroking the skin incited a sense of discomfort.
Then came the night of that same day. The sun's rays were gone, replaced by the light of the moon, and a chillier air than the daytime pushed against one's back.
This is a story of the journey toward a certain shrine.
Walking along a narrow path that seemed to have been carved through the trees. It might be more accurate to call it a beast trail. It was clear that it had not been maintained by human hands for a long time.
The stone stairs were mostly crumbled, to the point where one would hesitate to climb them.
