[Requests Accepted] [はいぺりよん] 東京都繰子の事件簿～File03:覚の棲む村～[イージーモード版] [RJ236777]

Post-war Japan during the early period of rapid economic growth. Private detective Kuriko from Tokyo visits the small mountain village of "Kotakari" in Hida for a break. There, Kuriko ends up sharing a lodging with her acquaintance, Inspector Komido, and his daughter, Serena Komido. Whether it is coincidence or fate, the group learns that today is the day of the annual ritual known as "Satori no Gi" held in this village. At the ritual, Kuriko encounters a mysterious girl who calls herself Satori. Satori—a monster said to read people's minds, resembling a monkey. However, the girl is far too lovely to be simply called a monster. As a series of murders begins to unfold around the girl, Kuriko and the others gradually become embroiled in the events. "If you pull the thread of logic, you will surely arrive at the truth." Eventually, the truth is revealed, along with a shocking twist. The splendid snow-covered scenery gradually transforms into a grim scene of death. *This is an easier mode version of the title released at C88.

A living deity worshiped at Takada Shrine. As her name suggests, she reads people's hearts and foretells their futures. Due to her divinity, she is treated as less than human and is usually confined in the cave behind the shrine. --- Nanamagari Tsubaki CV: Popura Sawano "What a cute customer! But this is a place for girls, right? Boys, over there." The eldest daughter of the Nanamagari sisters. Elegant, kind, and caring. Due to the absence of males in the Nanamagari family, she is pressured by those around her to settle down. However, she secretly has a chosen man and, despite it being forbidden, indulges in their secret meetings daily. --- Nanamagari Enoki CV: Maria Ayana "Who is it!? Is it Hiiragi!? If it's a prank, open this door right now!" The second daughter of the Nanamagari sisters. She is still at an age where she wants to play, but feels burdened by the pressure to settle down due to her sister Tsubaki's indecision. Often targeted by her younger sister Hiiragi's pranks, she struggles with the pressure. --- Nanamagari Hiiragi CV: Mao "Uncle, it must be cold standing outside for so long, right? I made you some tea. Would you like some?" The youngest daughter of the Nanamagari sisters. She is a tomboy who wanders off if you take your eyes off her. She is friendly towards boys but unfriendly towards girls.

Satori is always watching over you." A shrine maiden serving Satori at Takada Shrine.
