“A holy night with no dawn, my dear...” You awaken in a strange town full of art, blanketed in snow, and enclosed by a massive wall. On Christmas, it all burns down—and the girl who loves it most rewinds time to the start of Advent. Find the truth in the loop and paint it on this canvas of a town!
The narrative-driven gameplay puts players in the shoes of Shuu, the protagonist who finds himself trapped in a mysterious, snow-covered town destined for destruction on Christmas. To uncover the truth behind this cyclical disaster, players guide Shuu through branching storylines across four heroine routes, each offering a unique perspective on the unfolding mystery.
At key story moments, players' choices directly impact the narrative, leading to diverse character interactions, plot developments, and ultimately, different conclusions. This branching system encourages players to explore the game's rich tapestry of events, which totals over 20 hours of story content.
In between the narrative events, players can immerse themselves in the game's slice-of-life elements. Engaging with the diverse cast of characters, exploring the European-inspired town, and appreciating the artwork and religious motifs woven throughout the visual design all contribute to a well-rounded experience.
As a visual novel, the gameplay features text-based storytelling, character portraits, and background art, all of which are enhanced by the inclusion of full Japanese voice acting. The game's artistic direction, with its focus on classical art and Christian themes, sets it apart from more traditional visual novel aesthetics.
