真・竹取物語 / Shin Taketori Monogatari

About the Game

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.
