Read full description

An exploration/horror/adventure game about the codependent, love-hate relationship between two men. The main characters Haru Akinashi and Shion Tatsunami are both 26 years old and work in the same company. Since Haru joined the company two months earlier, Shion calls him "Senpai." They are complete opposites: Shion is cheerful and adept at everything, while Haru is a slow worker who lacks confidence. Feeling inferior, and even a little envious, Haru starts to distance himself from Shion. But a twist of fate brings both of them to Saihate Station, where they make a promise to work together and return home. Their interactions are awkward at first, given the estrangement, but with each problem they overcome together, Haru recalls their former friendship, and their bond grows stronger than before. Then, the whole truth of Saihate Station is revealed. What will become of their feelings? And what are their destinations?
