Original Steam description
STORY
Is it an urban legend, a mystery... or something else?
— One day in August, 2026 —
You become a paranormal influencer and head to the remote region of Kirigasawa in pursuit of fame and fortune—a place rumored to have swallowed up several influencers who vanished while filming there.
When you step off the bus, you're greeted by a beautiful sea of trees surrounded by towering mountains.
Beautiful, that is... except for the ominous signs.
Eager to begin filming, you soon discover your first destination—a ruined hospital—and eagerly make your way toward it.
Suddenly, you lose consciousness.
When you finally open your eyes again...
You're inside a hospital straight out of 1970s Japan—and it's no longer a ruin!
Then, your phone begins to ring...
Even though you should have no signal.
