The story
Shinpei Ajiro returns to Hitogashima, a small, rural island, for the funeral of his childhood friend, Ushio Kofune. Initially believing her death to be an accident, Shinpei soon learns from his best friend, Sou Hishigata, that there are suspicious circumstances surrounding Ushio's demise. This suspicion intensifies when an entire neighboring family vanishes, and Ushio's sister, Mio, reveals a chilling encounter with a "shadow" just before Ushio's death.
Shinpei discovers he is trapped in a time loop, repeatedly experiencing the same three days leading up to a catastrophic event on the island. He must use his knowledge from previous loops to understand the nature of the "shadows" and prevent further deaths, including his own. The story follows his desperate attempts to unravel the mystery and protect the island's inhabitants from this supernatural threat.
