Gameplay and Story

Set in a village reminiscent of 19th-century Europe, the story unfolds with Corliss Green, a worker at a noble villa, waking up in front of a peculiar café. She encounters Noir, who informs her that she has died but failed to reach heaven, becoming a lost spirit at the café’s entrance. Noir gives her a chance to revisit the week before her death. But does she truly need to go to heaven? And what is the truth behind her untimely demise?

In the past, we meet Sophie Evans, a cheerful midwife who plays a crucial role in the story. Her connection to a mysterious incident from 15 years ago adds layers of intrigue to the narrative.
