Story
Meet Yukumo, a young girl traversing the world in her beloved airship. Upon arriving at a particular Far Eastern town to run some errands, her airship suddenly breaks down. She decides to explore the town to search for parts for repair; however, the town has fallen silent with no trace of the people who live there, the only inhabitants being a strange cat-like species. 


The Town
Wander and explore this beautiful and mysterious town. As time slowly creeps by, the subtle differences in the town between day and night are mesmerizing. The Nezu Tribe, the only remaining inhabitants of the town, may provide some useful hints regarding the Sources of Earth. 


Sanctuaries

Your Airship
Hop aboard Yukumo's trusty airship to explore piers, valleys, and lakes. Gather the Sources of Earth to expand your scope of your adventure even further.
