›Story

The game is set in January, 1997. Akira, a freelance occult journalist, is visited by a woman whose daughter left on a trip with her friends and never returned. He agrees to look for the woman's daughter, and is given the last things the woman received from her, including a photo of an old run-down mansion somewhere in Europe, and what seem to be unearthly spirits. Two weeks after this meeting, Akira and his partner Angela find themselves in a remote European village in front of the mansion shown in the photos, where the game begins.
