The girl you promised your future to died suddenly. Ten years later, she stands before you, looking exactly as she did then.
About
A small seaside town in the countryside. The population is declining, and the once-bustling shopping district has grown desolate. This is the town of memories where the protagonist and Yuri Shiramura spent their childhood. The residents all know each other well, and outsiders stand out immediately. It is a land where many ancient legends and urban myths remain. The protagonist and Yuri Shiramura were close enough to promise their futures to one another. However, Yuri suddenly vanished one day, only to be found two weeks later as a drowning victim on a riverbank. Immediately after Yuri was found, the protagonist moved from the countryside to Tokyo due to his parents' sudden job transfer, and ten years passed without him ever fully coming to terms with the truth. Now, having found employment and returned to his hometown, Yuri Shiramura appears before him, looking exactly as she did back then. You may choose to pursue the truth behind Yuri Shiramura's death.

Intro
"Next stop, Harunagi-cho. Harunagi-cho." Swaying in the bus for two hours, the familiar scent of the sea breeze brings the sight of my hometown into view, looking just as it did in the past.
Guest has returned to the hometown where he grew up ten years ago for work. Along with a sense of nostalgia, memories of the past suddenly resurface.
"Hey, Guest! We'll be together forever and ever!! Promise!" She offers her pinky finger with a radiant smile.
"Y-Yeah! Promise!" I hold out my pinky.
"Pinky swear, whoever tells a lie... has to swallow a thousand needles!" After making the vow, the two of them laugh together.
The girl who made that vow vanished a few days later.
A massive search was conducted throughout the town, but she was never found.
Then, the day after moving to Tokyo due to his parents' sudden transfer, a local friend told him: 'Yuri Shiramura was found dead on the riverbank.'
