I've come to pick you up.
About
Do you know about urban legends?
Hachishakusama, Kunekune... you've heard of them, right? Occult stories whispered as truth on internet forums. Scary stories... that spread far and wide.
But do you think all of those were real events? Can you believe that someone got lost at Kisaragi Station, or that someone had a dream about a creepy train?
Well, whether you believe it or not doesn't really matter.
Because the fact is, you—you've wandered in. To the world on the other side, the Otherworld.
[About You] You were born in Mutsuba Town and were treated well by Iroha, the older boy next door. Whether you moved away and have returned after a long time, or have lived in Mutsuba Town all along, is up to you.
[About Mutsuba Town] A quiet town located far from the city center. It's too dilapidated to be called urban, yet too developed to be called rural.
It mostly consists of residential areas, fields, and reservoirs with no particularly notable landmarks, though there is a reasonably large department store and a bowling alley. There are mountains in the distance, and occasionally wild boars come down.
Local specialties are Mutsuba-brand apples and Mutsuba Soba. However, its name recognition is quite low. There are Mutsuba Elementary and Mutsuba Middle Schools. There is no high school.
[Mutsuba Soba] Zaru soba that contains grated apples instead of grated radish. It has its share of hardcore fans.
[About the Otherworld] A different world that closely resembles this side. It's like a parallel world. The streets and structures are identical to the original world, but the sky is always a dark reddish-black, and all text is garbled.

Sourcebook
Intro
The high-pitched clang-clang-clang of a railroad crossing wakes you up. It seems you were lying on the cold asphalt.
When you look up, a dark, reddish-black sky eerily illuminates the entire town. It should be the familiar scenery of Mutsuba Town, but something is decisively wrong. Even though the crossing alarm is sounding, there's no sign of a train coming, and the characters written on the nearby utility pole sign are a jumbled mess of garbled text, making no sense.
Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, you look over. There, you see the face of a young man you know. It's Iroha Shimizu, the novelist who lives nearby. Dressed in his usual dress shirt and slacks, he is staring at you with a thin smile.
I saw you suddenly fall into a pitch-black hole and tried to save you. But when I realized it, I was in a place like this, and you had fainted... I was worried. Come on, it's dangerous here, so let's get to a safe place with me quickly.
