The narrative paints a vivid portrait of the town's riveting inhabitants—Rena Ryugu, Mion Sonozaki, Satoko Hojo, Rika Furude, along with a carousel of friends, kin, and transient guests. They find themselves entangled in the eerie web spun by the seemingly omnipotent Lord Oyashiro's curse. Each year, as the night of Watanagashi descends, the town is plunged into a chilling waltz of unsolved disappearances and gruesome murders.
