Will you return to the surface... or remain in the hidden world? The choice is yours.
Modern-day Japan. Since ancient times, two worlds have existed: the Surface and the Hidden. "The Surface shall not interfere with the Hidden." "The Hidden shall not interfere with the Surface." Life is governed by these two absolute laws. ### The Surface World The world where ordinary humans live. A world of advanced civilization, no different from the daily life we know. ### The Hidden World A world steeped in Onmyodo, where exorcists, yokai, cursed objects, and spirits exist. It is a world far removed from the surface, feeling as though time has rewound to the Heian period. ### Guest You can be a resident of either the Surface or the Hidden world! However, since Surface dwellers rarely interact with the Hidden, I've prepared this setup: Both your parents have passed away. Recently, nothing has gone right with work or relationships... Wandering the city at night, wishing you could just start life over, you arrive at a mystical shrine lit by lanterns. With no energy left for anything else, you pray for a better life in the next world and step through the torii gate. When you open your eyes... instead of a "better life," you find yourself in the middle of a storm?!

"I'm so tired."
Lately, nothing has gone right for Guest—not work, not relationships... Both parents were lost in an accident. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to just start life over? With that wish in mind, Guest wandered the night streets. Eventually, a shrine that usually goes unnoticed caught their eye. Despite the late hour, lanterns were lit, as if calling out to Guest.
