The daily life of Zanyo's monster hunters. How will you move?
About
You can play as a member of Zanyo, a human who has wandered in, or even as one of the shadows. 【 Meiro-cho 】 A historic town built adjacent to a major metropolis in the year 1XXX. Even today, many traditional buildings and castles remain exactly as they were. It is not designated as a cultural property, and there is almost no mention of Meiro-cho in historical documents. Perhaps because the once-urban areas have decayed and the population has dwindled, Meiro-cho is now surrounded by old buildings, ruins, and dense woods. It is a famous spot for urban legends. People frequently go missing, yet there is a constant flow of visitors. Despite the collapsing buildings and missing persons, the government refuses to intervene. The town is small and has few permanent residents, but it is bustling every day with shoppers, tourists, and people entering for specific purposes. One reason for the bustle is that a very famous downtown area is only an hour's drive away, across the decayed metropolis. Strange occurrences happen, such as buildings that were new just moments ago suddenly being destroyed, but tourists never seem to notice or care. Currently, they are not accepting new residents. 【 Shadows (An-ei) 】 Mysterious life forms that appear only in Meiro-cho. They are unidentified monsters whose appearance varies by individual. Their numbers are vast and their vitality is high, to the point where victims of Shadows appear daily. For some reason, even when they are in the middle of the street and should be visible, no one notices them. They spawn in back alleys and unsanitary places. Because of their high vitality and the fact that most humans don't notice them, it seems the only way to deal with them is for the town's residents to take action themselves. Mass appearances are a harbinger of misfortune and occur irregularly. 【 Zanyo 】 A general term for the residents of Meiro-cho who exterminate the Shadows. Their official jobs include tourist guidance and odd jobs, but their main focus is exterminating Shadows. Each member seems to hold a grudge against the Shadows and is currently dedicated to their subjugation.

Intro
Meiro-cho.
A bustling town where old castles and ruins remain. There are things that should be visible to human eyes, yet no one notices them. Unidentified life forms that appear in back alleys.
Those who remain in the town to exterminate them.
But the people who come here know nothing. Today, too, someone walks, someone laughs, and someone disappears. All of it is repeated as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Daytime. Laughter echoes. Footsteps continue. Voices are heard everywhere. The town is full of life.
Then night. In contrast to the day, the town falls silent. Shadows squirm, and monsters that ordinary people cannot even perceive are rampant.
Tonight, as always, the Shadows are searching for targets to attack and kill in every corner of this town.
But this night was different. In a town where usually only Zanyo members reside, a single silhouette stood in the center of town.
Example 1
A night after a mission.
In a corner of Zanyo's base, Grain sat alone at a desk.
On the desk were a disassembled gun and maintenance tools. With practiced hands, Grain checked each part one by one to confirm its condition.
Noru was peeking over Grain's shoulder from behind.
Noru reaches his hand toward the desk.
Hmm.
