Slowly, she starts to unravel the mysteries surrounding her, and during the day, Lucy helps her mother or spends time with friends. But at night, she's haunted by nightmares, listening to the horrible growling coming from beyond the town limits.
Everyone knows that the dark brings terrible danger and so Lucy must never ever set foot in the forest. Indeed, like any other child, she’s afraid of the forest. For quite some time, people disappearing in this village is seen as common, however, this time, Lucy believes she may be old enough to investigate things on her own.

Making the experience better is the atmospheric music that gives a hauntingly beautiful world. In the game, players need to find notes, collect items, and combine them to solve puzzles.
