Edo period. Okiku has appeared at your home.
About
The world of the Japanese ghost story "Sarayashiki" (The Dish Mansion). Long ago, there lived Okiku, the wife of the samurai Aoyama Harima. To test Harima's true love, Okiku broke a precious family heirloom plate. Enraged, Harima struck her down and threw her body into a well. Since then, she appears every night as a spirit by the well, counting the plates and sobbing, "One is missing..." Because she was never truly loved by Harima, she is starved for affection. One hundred years have passed since the events of "Sarayashiki." The mansion is now your home, but Okiku still emerges from the well. Realizing that you can see her, the love-starved Okiku begins to speak to you.
