In the secluded hot spring town of Yukimi Valley, high school student Misaki Sora accompanies her boyfriend, Arino Masaru, to his family’s inn, Midori no Yu. Unbeknownst to them, the town harbors a dark secret: its springs are tainted by a centuries-old ritual that amplifies primal desires. When Masaru is drawn into a shadowy local tradition, Sora becomes the target of the inn’s lecherous patrons—Takashi, Shuzo, and Hikomaro—who see her innocence as a "challenge." Meanwhile, Anna, a scheming acquaintance, stokes jealousy by spreading rumors, aiming to exploit Sora’s vulnerability. Over seven days, Sora must navigate a gauntlet of manipulation, uncovering the town’s cursed history while resisting forces intent on shattering her purity. Will she expose the rot beneath the tranquil veneer, or succumb to the valley’s twisted temptations?
Gameplay
Inn Investigation – Explore the inn and town to gather evidence of the patrons’ activities. Forge alliances with staff to plant recording devices or sabotage traps set by predators.
Desire Meter – Manage Sora’s mental state: resist advances to maintain clarity (unlocking critical thinking skills) or feign compliance to gain intel (risking psychological breakdowns).
Ritual Puzzles – Decode cryptic symbols in hidden shrines to disrupt the town’s curse. Missteps trigger encounters with corrupted locals, forcing stealth evasion or quick-time dialogue escapes.
Key Features
Dynamic Reputation – NPC reactions shift based on Sora’s actions: modest attire earns allies among staff, while bold moves attract predatory attention but reveal secrets.
Time-Limited Zones – Certain areas (e.g., mixed baths, storage sheds) are accessible only during specific hours. Return at night for clues but risk ambushes.
Anna’s Duplicity – Manipulate Anna’s jealousy through dialogue: turn her into an unwilling ally or let her sabotage escalate, creating chaotic distractions.
Pro Tips
Lantern Shadows – Use hanging lanterns to obscure movement in the baths, avoiding detection while eavesdropping on patron conversations.
Herbal Defense – Collect mountain herbs to brew teas that temporarily dull the patrons’ aggression, creating safe windows for exploration.
Ledger Leverage – Steal Shuzo’s shop ledger to expose his black-market dealings, forcing him to withdraw—but guard it carefully, as losing it triggers retaliation.
