◆ 🩸 1. Story

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One month ago, MOMOKA's younger sister YUZUHA vanished after joining a "sweet potato digging tour" at Ama-imo Village.  

With police searches turning up nothing, MOMOKA follows unsettling rumors spreading online and ventures alone into the eerily silent village on a stormy, rain-drenched night.

An abandoned station with no one in sight. A mysterious shop selling nothing but sweet potatoes.  

And a group of strange, talking French Bulldogs — the KEROBULL.

Amid the relentless downpour and rolling thunder, a cold presence creeps closer from behind, footsteps carving through the mud.  

Can MOMOKA rescue her sister from this otherworldly village — and make it out alive——?

5 multiple endings await. One wrong choice, and you too will be swallowed by the world of rain……
