The apocalypse always comes at the end of Advent... FEATURES A time-looping visual novel with 20+ hours of story Four branching heroine routes Japanese voice acting CHARACTERS Yune (CV: Mahiru Tsukishiro) Our protagonist Shuu’s classmate, destined to become one of his closest associates. She’s a vocal chameleon, skilled at mimicry and changing the tone of her voice. Kirie (CV: Beni Sakurada) A petite powerhouse who has been tearing through the school and town filming for a movie she’s making for the Christmas Culture Festival. Kotoha (CV: Beni Sakurada) A tidy, ladylike senior who’s tall and slender. Her oil painting skill is unparalleled, although she almost exclusively paints landscapes. Sakuya (CV: Usa Fujisaki) A reserved junior who always seems to walk one step behind like an old-timey servant would. She may look like a defenseless girl, but inside she’s anything but. Sister Lili (CV: Kohaku Sakurajosui) A teacher and nun at St. Aria Academy who in charge of its chapel. Perhaps because of her earnest nature, she is not good with any kind of off-color humor and blushes easily. Gidou (CV: Kaina Honma) A third year, Shuu’s junior, and the head of the boys’ dormitory at Palm Dorm. He is hard-working and dependable, but also “eccentric,” as all great artists are. Nothing he does is ever ordinary... and that’s putting it nicely. Youji (CV: Sekitoba) Yune and Kirie’s fellow classmate and someone who becomes a good friend to Shuu. He usually ends up stuck with the hard jobs, but that somehow only makes him all the easier to get along with. Rinka (CV: Ren Sagami) Kotoha’s best friend who’s already been taken by someone known as Bad Santa at the start of the game. Footage of that incident can only be seen in Kirie’s film. Jack (CV: Kuwagatamaru Kinoshita) The owner of a general store in the town’s shopping arcade that sells a little bit of anything and everything. He graduated from St. Aria Academy and is thus also Shuu and the gang’s senior. Shuu (CV: -) The only person who comes from outside of the town. He’s got retrograde amnesia and while he knows he came from elsewhere, he remembers nothing else about the exterior world. SUMMARY "A holy night with no dawn, my dear..." Shuu awakens, memoryless, in a town blanketed in snow that feels truly bizarre to him. In this town filled with Europeanized architecture enveloped and closed off by a humongous wall called the aurora, there is nothing more treasured than the arts. It is here in this mysterious town that Shuu is saved by its residents and allowed to live a fulfilling life with the students of St. Aria Academy. However, this blissful life is eventually taken away from him in the blink of an eye. On December 25th, an unexplained conflagration brings the town to almost complete destruction. Loving this town more than anyone, Yune decides to take destiny into her own hands and rewinds time back to December 2nd—the first day of Advent. Why did all this destruction happen? Why is it that no matter what they do differently in the past, it all still leads to the same future? Why is it even possible to repeat these days in the first place? And what is this miraculous blessing, this “Amazing Grace" that is said to come on Christmas? The truth that awaits at the end of this endlessly-repeating loop will be written on this canvas of a town by their own hands.
