Set in late-20th-century Sumida, Tokyo, the story begins with office worker Shogo Okiie investigating the Seven Mysteries of Honjo. As supernatural events unfold, the narrative moves among several characters, including detectives, a student seeking answers about a classmate, and a mother pursuing the truth about her son.
Investigate locations by looking around 360-degree photo-sphere scenes, examining objects, and talking with other characters. Gather clues and background information in files, then use what you learn to solve occasional puzzles and advance the connected investigations.
Choices can change events and lead to different endings, while a story chart lets you revisit key points and switch between character routes. Curses create strategic encounters in which characters may use their powers or risk being cursed themselves; some story moments also use interactions with the game interface as part of the mystery.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its interwoven supernatural mystery, distinctive characters, atmospheric art and music, and unusual story-chart and meta-game interactions. The 360-degree scenes and clue files also add a sense of investigation to the visual-novel format. Some reviewers felt the experience was short, that the ending was rushed, or that curses played a smaller role after the opening than expected.
