When winter comes, everything falls into slumber - everything except this forest.
There's something wandering its snow-covered paths, lurking behind black trees, and taking whatever it considers due.
It leaves behind strange rumors: voices calling you into the thicket, faces watching through your windows, mysterious prints in the snow, and… a growing number of missing-child posters.
Those who have heard the voice of the forest are beyond help. Their only option is to sink deeper and deeper into its cold embrace and face their final choice in that icy darkness: to stay alive… or to stay human?
This version promises to refine lore with a greater emphasis on mysticism and shamanism, make the story coherent and consistent, correct all the plot and graphical errors, and remove the need to play every route to understand the entire story.
