Story
"Since long ago, this town has seen many people spirited away.
People who are worn down mentally or carrying a big worry are more likely to be spirited away.
Are you okay?"
It was the start of autumn in her second year of high school. When her best friend said this, the protagonist, Misa Isshiki (逸色珠沙), felt her heart skip a beat.
"I don't believe in being spirited away, so I'm fine."
That's right, she doesn't believe in it.
She was only flustered because she does have a big worry: her future path.
Then an eerie voice reaches her ears.
[Let's search for your path. I am the one who lures you into the darkness.]
From then on, strange things begin to happen around Misa...
