STORY
Legends tell of a hidden village deep in the mountains surrounding a quiet rural town.
Driven by curiosity, Itsuki and his companions set out to investigate the old tale. It should have been nothing more than a short trip into the mountains—a fleeting moment of carefree adventure.
Instead…
“…Where are we?”
When Itsuki comes to, he and his companions find themselves in an unfamiliar place. Weathered houses stand shrouded in drifting mist, and the air hangs heavy with an eerie stillness, as though time has come to a halt. There is no sign of anyone else, yet traces of everyday life remain throughout the village.
They have stumbled upon Himeyoshi—a long-abandoned mountain village said to be the legendary hidden settlement.
None of them can remember how they arrived. Worse still, every attempt to leave ends the same way: the mist quietly leads them back.
Realizing they have been trapped by an unseen force, Itsuki and his companions resolve to survive until they can find a way to escape.
As the truth behind Himeyoshi slowly comes to light, Itsuki searches the abandoned village for a way to break free.
Will they escape the village’s mysterious influence…
Or become another part of its legend?
Is Himeyoshi a secluded paradise—
Or a prison?
