“One leg was longer than the other. This part of the skin doesn't match the rest of the bodythere is something written.. in the intestines.”

Following the untimely passing of his father, Sasaki Shin'ya and his mother moved to a countryside town called Hinoyama, where they now operate a café together.

Apart from his job, he has become withdrawn and no longer has any passion. What he seeks is a peaceful and uneventful day-to-day life.

Under the dark winter sky, on a day like any othermultiple people were found dead inside an initially assumed single victim, in a park he passes by everyday.

On the same day, by the twist of an inevitable fate, he meets a woman he never should've met.

That same night, he died. 

Then he woke up40 years later.

As a long time VN reader I cannot overstate how engrossed I was while reading the prologue of Kill the Night. The dev definitely wears his inspirations on his sleeve, but in a way that shows an incredible understanding of why those inspirations worked in the first place. The character writing flows in a way that few visual novels do, and the atmosphere is meticulously crafted. idk man honestly any notes I've got on this one are borderline nitpicky. I'm eagerly awaiting more.

I assume you reuploaded the game, so I am getting it from here! Played some, I am fond of it! The soundscape feels good as an atmospheric setup.
