"Under the shroud of the Snow Curtain Festival night, the dead transform into ghosts, returning to the mortal world." In a small town in the countryside, such a legend has been passed down since ancient times. Every year on December 31st,  the town celebrates the local custom, the Snow Curtain Festival. In order to witness a meteor shower that only occurs once every decade or so, a 17-year-old art student named Tianhai returns to his hometown on the day of the Snow Curtain Festival. However, on the night of the festival, a mysterious letter arrives in Tianhai's hands. "Come to the school building after eight o'clock tonight. The past concealed by the meteors awaits you here." Lost memories, an odd festival, and the night of the meteor shower...  Somehow, all these elements are intricately connected. But what truth awaits Tianhai? In this game, players will step into the shoes of high school student Tianhai,  running around the small town on the night of the Snow Curtain Festival,  to uncover the truth behind his lost memories. This narrative-driven exploration RPG includes a complete first chapter of the main storyline,  as well as the achievements of exploring 12 subplot stories.
