・Supernatural beings? I'll defeat them one by one!
・Unravel the truth of the world!
・Earn lots and lots of money!

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~☺
