Overview

At 12:12 AM on April 26, 2032, a total lunar eclipse darkens Megalopolis Tokyo for the first time in three years. What should be a simple astronomical event triggers an avalanche of inexplicable mysteries, terrorist attacks, and cybercrimes. Truth blurs with lies as the world teeters between wakefulness and a dream. Something begins in the shadows, unseen by anyone. This is a tale of chance encounters and tragic partings among young men and women destined to cross paths. Play through four perspectives: Route A follows Hinata, a youth lost after his sister's disappearance; Route B follows Ishtar, a freelance programmer and hacker leader; Route C features a different version of Ishtar; and Route D explores a mysterious man. With over seven endings and unlockable routes, the story promises twists. 'The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning.'
