In this Gothic story of deep bonds and chilling mystery, a young girl named Esther ventures deep within a forgotten forest. There, she seeks out a potential cure for her mysterious illness: a life-leeching plague known as the Pale Cachexia. But when Esther meets Seina, who lives all alone in a towering manor, the two girls are drawn to each other in a tale of friendship, sorrow, and bitter loneliness. Their story is shadowed by the dark secrets of the manor and its graveyard, which haunts Esther even in her deepest dreams.(Storyline via IGDB)
