Not to defeat the anomalies, but to understand them. This is a story that traverses a world filled with memories and anomalies. ▶ The Collapse of the World and the Seekers Decades ago. Human civilization collapsed due to a great catastrophe known as the 'Phantom Disaster'. Rumors became reality, and fears, regrets, obsessions, and wishes manifested as 'Anomalies' in the world. The survivors continue to send out Seekers into the dangerous outer world, the 'Lost Zone', while living in massive walled cities. Their goal is not treasure hunting. It is to recover relics from the old civilization and gather lost records.

I made it in just under the wire. All-ages is tough... 😅
This is a combination of the treasure hunter theme I've wanted to do for a while and a pseudo-post-apocalyptic setting with supernatural beings. Some of the supernatural beings are scary, but the four urban legend characters are cute, so interact with them with peace of mind (?).
My recommendations are "Headless-san" and "Shion"-kun. I'll be making NSFW content later with characters who only appear by name or other urban legends, so if any of the supernatural beings catch your eye, let me know and I'll pull them into the NSFW content~☺
