The protagonist, Kisuke Saito, is a man haunted by his missing wife and left without the will to live. Encouraged by his colleague Ashlyn and a high school student, he takes work as a school counselor, where the students he meets are troubled by inexplicable phenomena. Players listen to the events the students have experienced and the pasts they carry, moving toward the paranormal entities that exist beyond the case files and the truth behind his wife's disappearance. Illustrator fracoco handles the visuals, and Re,AER, known for the scenario brand Acacia and Magical Girl Witch Trial, wrote the script. The game is a visual novel advanced by mouse clicks and choices, with branching paths and multiple endings. A free demo covering the opening chapter and one counseling session runs about one hour.","whyItMatters":"The game pairs a school-counseling frame with a missing-person thread, and the sources treat the students' case files as its central loop rather than a side mechanic.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe demo is available on Steam now and covers two named chapters: Kisuke Saito\u0026#39;s \u0026#34;Record of Circumstances Pertaining to Engagement in Counseling Services\u0026#34; and \u0026#34;Counseling: Session 1.\u0026#34; The game is set to appear at Steam Next Fest: October 2026 Edition, which runs from October 20 to 27, and at DigiGame Expo 2026 on November 8 at Akihabara UDX, booth C-05b, where visitors can play the demo and receive giveaways.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSogo Soyogi, one of the students in the counseling sessions\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHironobu Kido, another student with standing art\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKaina Orihara, a third student character\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeguri Tsukumo, the fourth named student\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than five characters appear with standing artwork.
