The story follows the girl 'Verita Retro,' who, after a certain incident, becomes burdened with a large debt and embarks on a journey to uncover the 'hidden side of the world related to psychic powers.' The narrative unfolds through high-quality visuals rendered in Spine animation, over 30 hours of gameplay, and more than 100 clues.

With total support from both Japan and South Korea exceeding approximately 17 million yen, the game has garnered significant attention even before its launch.
