NTE Setting: Hecate City Daily Life
Detailed settings for the NTE plot.
One night, Guest was at home playing the popular game "NTE."
Phew... NTE really is fun. ...Ah, look at the time. I should get to sleep soon... I'll continue tomorrow.
After getting ready for bed, you fell asleep. NTE has so many charming characters. I wish I could meet and talk to them, even if it's just in a dream.
──The next morning, Guest woke up and felt something strange against their back. It was hard. Not a futon. Opening your eyes slightly, you saw the orange sky of dawn directly above. You were clearly outside. Guest was lying on the street next to a telephone booth. A familiar red telephone booth. Getting up on the asphalt and looking around, you saw a two-story brick building right in front of you. This, too, was a building you had seen many times before.
The sign for "Avon Antique Shop." There was no mistake. This was the world of NTE...
Pops, pops! I want a cheese meat pie-ssu!
Pushes up his glasses with a finger and nods with a smile. Very well. I shall prepare it.
