真・竹取物語 / Shin Taketori Monogatari

Everyone knows The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. —But somewhere in the retelling, it was twisted. This was once a record of something that really happened. On the far side of the moon, a woman lay sleeping. She woke without words, her memory broken. You will trace what she lost, one fragment at a time. With each memory restored, the true ending hidden beneath the old story quietly comes into view— ■ A Story About Restoring Memory What you do is gather the broken pieces of a memory and put them back together. Each fragment you recover brings a scene to light — a scene from a story everyone thought they already knew. Solving the mystery becomes, in itself, the process of one person remembering who she was. ■ A Face You Never Knew, Behind a Tale Everyone Does The story you heard as a child — what really happened in it? Piece by piece, you uncover what someone cut away, twisted, and made the world forget. "I thought I knew this story" quietly gives way to something else. ■ Your Choices, and the Endings They Lead To Throughout the story, you'll make small choices. None of them is the "right" one — each is a way of choosing how to stand beside her. Where they lead is one of several different endings. Only after seeing them all does the whole truth come into view. ■ Pixel Art, Every Frame A world drawn pixel by pixel, by Byte. A quiet story unfolds inside screens that feel nostalgic, and somehow warm. ■ Let the Sound Carry the Story As a sound novel, music and sound effects become the hand that turns the page. There are moments where a melody quietly says what words cannot. —Precious, because it ends. There was something she wanted to give you, while it was still warm. This is a story about a single farewell.
