Lead the story to its conclusion by your own hand!

Shogo Okiie, an ordinary office worker, visits Kinshibori Park in the dead of night with his friend, Yoko Fukunaga, to investigate a well-known local ghost story: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. Shogo doesn’t quite believe Yoko when she talks about how the Mysteries are connected to the Rite of Resurrection and doesn't pay it much mind - that is, until strange events begin to unfold before his very eyes.
Meanwhile, several others are making their own investigations into The Seven Mysteries...
Detectives investigating a series of strange deaths, a high-school girl seeking the truth behind her classmate’s suicide, and a mother who has sworn revenge for her lost son.
Their desires and motives intertwine and interplay, with the Seven Mysteries of Honjo at the core, leading the story towards a battle of wits and curses.

Playing from the viewpoint of a number of cursed characters, you’ll investigate the mysteries of Honjo. By examining the beautiful 360 degree environments, talking to a cast of interesting (if often suspicious and unnerving) characters, you’ll uncover new clues as to how to proceed in the story.

The characters’ curses give them special abilities, and you’ll need to find ways to deploy them strategically to fulfil your goals or find new information. Bear in mind, however, that there are other cursed people in the world, and they have powers of their own…

So, proceed carefully, because the wrong decision at the wrong time can lead to a character’s untimely demise. But don’t worry - there are no dead ends and you’ll never have to reload the game to try again. In fact, it seems as if death may be part of the plan… and in some cases even to your advantage…

The game’s setting of Sumida has been created with the full co-operation and support of the Sumida City Tourism Division, the local museum, the tourist association, and the local community.

Sections of the game employ a 360-degree panoramic view, created using photographs from a 360 degree camera, which makes it an authentic and realistic depiction of the area.

Realistic to a point, of course - people weren’t really running around with magical curses in the late 20th Century (at least I hope not). But this attention to recreating this real life area gives the story a really powerful and believable sense of place.

The legends at the center of the story are based on real life urban myths in Sumida. Back in the Edo period of Japan, this area was known as Honjo, and attracted many local legends that are well-known in the region.
