In search of their missing parents, the children visit a place called "no-footprints land.
This is the abandoned school “Koshiwa Elementary School,” which emerged from the bottom of a dam that dried up due to the dry season over the past few years.
This area once had a sad history of sinking to the bottom of the water along with the construction of the dam.
One day, some children enter the abandoned school and are drawn there by the sight of their parents who have never returned.
One of them, Himari, stepped off the collapsed rubble and fell, and when she woke up, she was paralyzed and unable to move.

The adults who have disappeared, records of the past scattered around the abandoned school, the existence of the Blue Demon, there is something about this place. ......
Searching for their missing classmates, “Himari” and “Komari” begin their mission to escape.

this game is incredibly disappointing. so much of this game is spent slowly walking back and forth between places on this huge, repetitive map with little to no direction on what you're actually supposed to do half the time. unlike the mainline games, where figuring out how to solve a problem is part of the fun, in this one, reading where you're supposed to go next wrong can cost you agonising minutes slowly walking down long corridors to go try something else. it's boring. especially in the parts where you're punished for running. i want to beat this game as a fan of the series but i'm not having much fun doing it. the story is interesting, but i hate that my "reward" for spending like 20 minutes slowly escorting the slowest person on the planet 5 times in a row is hearing these characters i could not care less about say something completely uninteresting about their personal lives. it adds nothing to the gameplay, the immersion, or the story. i want to hear more about the aooni, b...
