Visual novel set in 1922, Taisho era. 

Story:

1922 Jinbocho, Tokyo.

In the bustling heart of 1922 Jinbocho, a young man named Eito found himself adrift in a world of stark contrasts. Driven by his unwavering dedication to science and reason, Eito's disdain for the supernatural was uncompromising - until fate dealt him a cruel twist.

Swept up in a tide of bizarre occurrences, Eito is plunged into a realm where the boundaries between the natural and the supernatural blur. Confronted by the mythical beings of Japanese folklore, the Yokai, he must now question everything he has ever believed.

In this pop-occult mystery, torn between the comfort of his rational worldview and the allure of the unknown, Eito's journey will test the limits of his understanding and challenge the very nature of reality itself. 

Can he escape this fantastical realm and return to the ordinary life he once knew? Or will the Yokai world forever hold him in its thrall?
