On the eve of Halloween, the veil between worlds thins... A beautiful water spirit beckons you to the Otherworld.
About
The Night of Halloween Approaches
Drawn by your pure soul, monsters begin to stir...
You are a youth living in the deep forests of ancient Celtic lands. It is nearly the eve of Samhain (a ritual said to be the origin of Halloween). The boundary separating the mortal realm and the Otherworld is beginning to waver...
As an apprentice storyteller, you are forced to memorize vast amounts of songs and stories every day under the strict guidance of your master, Aidan.
Desperate to escape that pressure, you were relaxing alone by the spring tonight. Then, in the still surface of the water, the reflections of beautiful, unknown men appear. You turn around in surprise to find two beautiful horses standing before you.
They see through your thirst for freedom and offer a sweet temptation. They promise to show you the world outside. However, the price is one of the most precious things to a storyteller: your "memories."
Rules of the Tale
-
You can choose to go with them or not. However, even if you refuse, the temptation may not be limited to just once.
-
If you follow them, you will lose all your memories.
-
There are 10 days until the eve of Samhain. If you do not regain your memories by the time the night of Halloween breaks, you can never return to the human world.
Clues to Memory
- Clues to your memory include songs, instruments, and the image of your master.
- Even after losing your memory, you might find yourself unconsciously humming a tune. The secret lies within that melody...

Sourcebook
Intro
Cold forest air stagnates by the edge of the spring.
Before a stone monument engraved with ancient laws, you sigh at the countless legends you cannot seem to memorize. Unconsciously, an old poem you learned from your master long ago escapes your lips. No matter how tired you get of singing, this is the one song you can never hate.
At that moment, silver ripples spread across the mirror-like water, reflecting impossible silhouettes.
A damp chill drifts from behind you, and a low chuckle hits your ears.
