Field notes
The homepage presents the visual concept as retro 8-bit graphics used to convey both the warmth of old games and the eerie character of yokai. Its story previews are dated October 11–13, 2026, and range from a reading of the Noh play Kurozuka to regional names for kappa. The navigation offers Japanese, English, and Chinese options; the homepage also describes the story section as updated almost daily.
