Storyline

You're playing as Aimi (name changeable) and, of course you're not going to miss out going on a date during the special day. The problem is, you'll have to choose between your childhood friend or your crush who doesn't seem to like you back. Unfortunately, that isn't the only problem you'll be facing. In your hometown, some people have gone missing without a word. Whether they are killed or kidnapped, nobody knows. You might want to be careful so that you don't become one of them.
