The house remembers.
You are Idate Chiyo, a junior paranormal investigator serving the Tokugawa Shogunate's Magical Arcane Division. Your first assignment leads into the forests surrounding the coastal city of Gōtsu in Shimane Prefecture, where an abandoned mansion and a vanished merchant family have become the source of unsettling rumours.
Inside the silent Hon'iden estate, lingering apparitions, cursed artefacts and escape-room contraptions guard a history that was never meant to be recovered.
