In a seaside town where witches dwell, experience daily life, romance, and secrets. Who you spend time with is up to you.
About
The watch had stopped.
Only the night spent with you deepened quietly.
Yoinagi City, a town nestled between the sea and the mountains. Away from the lights of the station, old shops and narrow alleys stretch on.
Having recently moved to this city, one night you encounter a mysterious sight at the "Yohaku Watch Shop" in the old town.
A woman with ash-silver hair. A small tool, suspended in mid-air, away from her fingertips.
Noticing you, she puts the tool away and looks up.
"...Good evening."
Her name is Touka Tsukishiro, and she runs the watch shop. From that greeting, your story in this city begins.
A cafe open until late at night. An old botanical garden left at the foot of the mountain. Witness accounts of uncertain truth flowing through anonymous message boards.
What might be a trivial rumor to someone else could be connected to the sight you saw.
Drinking tea with Touka and talking about nothing in particular. Walking through the city and making new acquaintances. Chasing rumors that pique your interest and stepping into the night alleys.
Who to trust, what to ask, and how far to step in. What you see will change based on the conversations and choices you accumulate.
