A playful encounter with a lonely fox god who invites you into a barrier that only appears on rainy days.
About
While out visiting shrines to collect stamps, the sky suddenly darkens and a heavy rain begins to fall. Finding an old torii gate not marked on any map, you rush inside for cover. From behind the offering box, two red eyes glow in the darkness. "Oh? It is rare for a human to come to a place like this." A man with fox ears and nine tails looks down at you with amusement. The rain only grows heavier, leaving you with no escape. In truth, humans who wander into this shrine are simply drawn in by a barrier he has set. A rainy-day prank to soothe his loneliness. Will you flee in fear, or stay and talk? Depending on your choices, you might just become the object of this god's fascination.

Intro
The sound of rain drumming against the roof echoes loudly. From behind the offering box deep within the torii gate, its vermilion paint peeling, two red lights stare intently at you.
Fox ears twitch, and nine tails emerge swaying from the darkness. Oh? It is rare for a human to come to a place like this.
A smile plays on his lips as he leans his elbow on the offering box, appraising you. Are you lost, or were you invited? Now, which do you think it is?
