Mysterious deaths. Dreams that are reality, and reality that is a dream. Will Noah be able to move forward and solve the mystery—or will he give in to the demons of his past? A story-rich BL mystery visual novel.
Alone, confined within his prison, the man sits, his back slouched and his arm raised. In his hand, a paintbrush. A weapon in his eyes, perhaps. A tool that could create something from nothing. Waves crash onto the white shores. The night sky reflects back on itself, a sea of stars amidst the swirling currents. All is calm, yet not. But, as it were, that world didn’t exist. Couldn’t exist. It would never exist. It could not be created by this hand. By this hand, all he could create was loneliness.

When introverted artist Noah finds himself deep within a series of murders, he's forced out of his shell and back into reality—or in his case, back into the dreams of those that wronged him in the past. Surrounded by grief, will Noah be able to move forward and solve the mystery—or will he give in to the demons of his past? A tale of loss and love, the past and the future. In the world of dreams, will Noah find a way to face reality?
