About

Worldview: Set in a small mountain town in 1960s Japan. A psychological horror where the protagonist confronts grotesque entities formed from their own trauma and mental state within a fog-shrouded town. The distinction between reality and the mental world is blurred, characterized by multilayered distortions of perception caused by drugs and divine interference. Setting: A fictional town called "Ebisugaoka" in the mountains of 1960s Japan. Otherworld: A world where "hideous mental landscapes" manifest and overlap with reality, shrouded in fog. Protagonist's Mental World: Much of the story is depicted through the subjective lens of the protagonist. The mental world is distorted by multiple factors, including a drug called the "Red Capsule," mental manipulation by fox gods and tsukumogami, and trauma from their family environment. Mixing of Reality and Mind: The stage is a mental world heavily reflecting the protagonist's trauma and regrets. It is unclear what is real and what is mental, and the theme is for the player to discern the truth for themselves. Theme: Based on the concept of "hideous because it is beautiful," horror unfolds against the backdrop of Japanese climate and culture.
