Developed by Cat Whoi Trading LLC and published by Wakuwaku Games, the game is billed as a psychedelic Hiroshima travelogue yuri suspense horror strange tale. Players control Yuma Amado alongside psychokinetic detective Elizabeth Tsuchigami and their talking cat Oscar, investigating a series of gruesome deaths that begin with a body that appears to have exploded in a Saitama park. The setting expands to Yamaguchi, Hiroshima, and Taiwan in post-game content.
