About This Game

"There are things better left unknown" — The hidden masterpiece by ImCyan, creator of "Tsugunohi," finally arrives on Steam

A hidden paranormal detective mystery is revived on Steam. Experience the diverse presentation and gameplay that laid the foundation for the evolution of "Tsugunohi" today.

Game Overview

A full-scale drama-style horror adventure game where the protagonists, paranormal detective Yumemi Teru and his sister Yumemi Luna, who possess the special ability "Dream Link" to enter the dream worlds created by ghosts after death, solve spiritual cases occurring in the city.

Inheriting the will of their late mother, Yumemi Mimiko, the siblings dive into the dream worlds to save those who "know too much."

This is a full-fledged story-driven ADV by ImCyan, author of "Tsugunohi," originally published on the game site "Game Magazine" (which also featured "Angels of Death" and "Noel the Mortal Fate") from fall 2016 to summer 2018. Unlike "Tsugunohi," this work features exploration, mini-games, and various gameplay elements.

This package includes all episodes released at that time (Episodes 1–9; the 2018 special "The Case of the Mermaid" is not included). It serves as a perfect introduction to ImCyan's unique world for both long-time and new fans of "Tsugunohi."
