01 / Story

A forgotten maiden.
An unfinished ritual.

You awaken centuries after a failed sealing ritual, with fragmented memories and an existence suspended between the human and spirit worlds. Calling yourself Seigami Mewa, you set out along a haunted interpretation of the old Tōkaidō.

Alongside the onmyoji Tojo Seishi, follow the traces of broken seals and discover why you were left behind. Each encounter brings you closer to the person beneath your self-created divinity.

If the gods will not save me, I shall become one.

03 / Characters

The living. The lost.
The ones in between.

Meet the shrine maiden, her guide, and the spirits bound to a broken world.

Tsushima Mewa

【Self-Crowned Divinity・Fallen Shrine Maiden】

Calling herself Seigami Mewa, she chooses to become a god after being abandoned by one. Beneath her cold arrogance hides a small, painful wish to return home.

Tojo Seishi

【Anchor of Reality・Onmyoji】

The only human who can look directly at Seigami. Through spells and restraint, he keeps Mewa from falling completely into darkness.

Toyokawa Kozueko

【Kejōrō・The Sacrificed Daughter】

The daughter of Toyokawa Village’s headman. Betrayed by the father she trusted, she now holds a stringless koto and plays melodies of resentment from the sealed cave-house.

Ōtengu

【Mountain Arbiter・High Spirit】

A high-ranking spiritual being that watches over mountain paths and ancient roads. It is not a beast, but an arbiter of the mountains who judges Mewa’s pilgrimage through discipline, pride, and sacred law.

Yuki-onna

【Frozen Memory・Inhuman Silence】

A white apparition appearing in the Mount Fuji chapter. Rather than killing through violence, she freezes the human heart through silence, cold air, and emotional emptiness.

Umibōzu

【Suruga Bay Shipwreck・The Nameless One】

A maritime calamity emerging from the fog and black waters of Suruga Bay. It is not merely a monster, but a form shaped by deep-sea pressure, vanished ships, and the memories of those who never returned.

04 / World

Beyond the village gates

An original folk-horror world inspired by the old Tōkaidō: abandoned shrines, mountain paths, and the dark waters of Suruga Bay. Historical landscapes and folklore are reimagined through Mewa’s pilgrimage.

Toyokawa Village

A headman’s daughter, a ruined koto, and a ritual that should never have taken place. Investigate the traces of Toyokawa Kozueko’s sacrifice, where music and resentment have become entwined.
