About

You’re settling into a quiet village to recover from a mysterious illness when two oddball roommates complicate things. Youtaro, a soft-spoken local with a gentle demeanor, and Tiger, a feline humanoid with a sly grin, share your home while figuring out the supernatural forces behind your condition. The story unfolds through dialogue choices and exploration, blending slice-of-life moments with supernatural intrigue. You’ll manage daily routines, build relationships, and piece together clues about a lurking creature tied to the town’s secrets. The game stands out for its odd-couple charm and branching narrative. Youtaro’s quiet loyalty and Tiger’s playful mischief create a dynamic that feels lived-in, while the mix of mundane chores and eerie investigations keeps the tone refreshingly offbeat. Though the visual novel elements lean casual over cerebral, the character-driven story and lighthearted tone earned it a cult following on Switch and mobile.

In order to treat an illness of unknown origin, you move into someone’s house in Sakamoto. Youtaro (voiced by Junya Enoki), a young field worker from the village, and “Tiger” (voiced by Megumi Han), a strange creature whose life Youtaro saved also live there. While living in Sakamoto, it becomes clear that the cause of your illness is a “great strange creature” that has long lived in this area. And so the three of you decide to search for this creature that has possessed you… This is the story of you, Youtaro, and Tiger, each discovering the place where you belong.
