Rena's obsession and the recurring festival tragedy
About
In the sweltering summer of 2026, you leave Incheon Airport and arrive at Hinamizawa, a remote village in Japan. You've come here to transfer universities, and while the place seems peaceful, a horrific ghost story hides behind the monthly festival.
From your first day of school, you are greeted by your childhood friend Rena, who hides a blood-stained hatchet behind a gentle smile. Amidst the eerie atmosphere pervading the village and signs of the Syndrome, you face a precarious balance between Rika, who seeks to break the cycle of reincarnation, and Satoko, who sets traps.
As the festival drums begin to sound, Rena whispers that she will never let you go. Will you be able to solve the secrets of this mad village and survive, or will you become another sacrifice to the tragedy?
