In 1960s Japan, teenager Shimizu Hinako lives in the small, remote town of Ebisugaoka, nestled in a mountain pass. An average teen, she passes the time with nothing particularly special about her life.
Until, that is, a deep fog descends on Ebisugaoka, and everything Hinako knows crumbles as she finds her once-familiar home infested with spreading danger, the town empty except for the horrors teeming in the fog.
Now, as she navigates the twisting paths of Ebisugaoka, Hinako must solve puzzles and fight for her life in her struggle to survive.
Her struggle to reach the inevitable decision that must be made. And her struggle to put an end to that which must be slain.
Will she choose to embrace elegance and beauty? Or will her path lead her to madness and horror…
A story of impossible decisions, of the beauty in terror, and terror from beauty.
