The story takes place in Utaga, a town in Japan. You will be attacked by numerous horrors when you accidentally come in contact with a horrifying incident hidden in this town.

The main character, college student [Garasu Yuki], is walking with her dog when she is attacked by a strange monster. Her dog, Chocolat, who protected her, has disappeared along with [something crawling on the ground]. The game begins when she visits Mount Utaga in search of her dog. The time limit to search Mount Utaga is 18:00. Glass searches for her dog in the mountains, where there is an unsettling atmosphere, but she is unable to find him until 18:00. The sun sets, and darkness envelops Mt. As she attempts to continue her search, she is again attacked by something crawling on the ground. From there, the protagonist experiences a part of the cruel and fearless history of this town.
