You play as Idate Chiyo, a junior investigator of the Tokugawa Shogunate’s Magical Arcane Division.

Sightings of strange disturbances have begun to circulate throughout the countryside. The local villagers whisper of restless spirits. And the wealthy family who once lived there have vanished almost overnight. Within the silent halls of the Hon'iden Mansion, Chiyo will encounter lingering apparitions, cursed artifacts, and fragments of a family history better left forgotten. Escape Puzzle Horror Scour the mansion for clues and solve escape room-inspired contraptions to unlock new areas and uncover the lingering truth hidden within this haunted place.
