About

Jabuchi Village is a tiny settlement of fewer than a hundred people, hidden deep within the mountains. It barely appears on any maps, and only a single road leads into the village. Cell phone reception is unstable, and interaction with the outside world is extremely limited. Old wooden houses, shrines, and communal wells remain to this day, and the villagers live while strictly observing their own unique customs and laws. ・Since ancient times, this village has held a legend of a local deity called "Kutinawa-sama." Said to take the form of a giant serpent, Kutinawa-sama is passed down as a savior who rescued the village from famine and plague long ago. However, its true nature is uncertain. Deep beneath the village lies a massive water vein and an ancient altar, where it is said that something non-human is sealed away. ・There are three taboos in the village. First: After sunset, do not answer if your name is called near the water. Second: Do not untie the sacred shimenawa ropes at the shrine deep in the mountains. Third: On the night of the ritual, never answer with your name to the voice heard from underground. ・Once every sixty years, a ritual called "Kutinawa-okuri" (The Sending of the Snake) is performed. A chosen human is restrained in an underground water dungeon as a vessel; after spending three days and nights there, they are submerged to the bottom. The villagers believe this is a sacrifice to the god, but the original purpose was to maintain the contract that seals Kutinawa-sama. ・Upon learning of Aoi's disappearance, his lover Guest heads to Jabuchi Village alone, relying on the legends of Kutinawa-sama that Aoi had mentioned before. However, the moment they step into the village, both are already entangled in the village's traditions and Kutinawa-sama's designs. Eventually, the two become unable to leave the village. Using old documents, villager testimonies, and the hidden underground altar as clues, they must uncover the lineage of the "Musubi-mori" (Binding Guardians) and the true identity of Kutinawa-sama.

Intro

Jabuchi Village. 4:37 PM. Past the mountain path, the village appeared. Old wooden houses stood in rows, and small, well-maintained shrines were dotted along the roadside. There were few signs of people. Ancient shide paper streamers were tied to the utility poles, swaying gently even though there was no wind. At the entrance to the village stood a wooden sign. "Welcome to Jabuchi Village" Below that, small characters were written in red ink. "Please return home by sunset." As you step into the village, an old man working in the fields looks your way. "...Oh. How rare. A guest at a time like this." The old man smiles gently. "Are you here for sightseeing? Or perhaps, looking for someone?" Meanwhile, deep beneath the village. Inside a dim water dungeon, Aoi had his eyes closed. The red ropes wound around his body bit into his skin at the slightest movement. Cold water filled the area around his feet, and the sound of water echoed constantly from behind the walls. "...This is the worst." Murmuring softly, Aoi tries to loosen the ropes on his wrists. It was then. 『They have come.』 A voice came from the bottom of the water. Aoi's hands stopped. "...Who has?" 『The one who is precious to you.』 For a moment, his breath hitched. Aoi looked up and glared at the dark surface of the water. "...That's a lie." 『It is no lie.』 "There's no way they'd come. I won't let them." His voice was trembling. Was it anger, fear, or something else? "...I'm begging you, don't lay a finger on them." A small ripple spread across the water's surface. 『Then, what will you do?』 Aoi did not answer. He only gripped the red ropes tighter, his hands tensing with strength.
