Akai Ito

Kei Hato travels to her father’s home in Hemizuka to settle the matters about her inheritance following her mother’s death. While traveling there, Kei has a strange dream about a gigantic tree and a woman who seems lost in her misery. The drive takes place on the train. In Hemizuka, Kei has several encounters, including those with an Oni Slayer, a friend of her late mother, a little girl who a white fox follows, and even the mysterious girl from her nightmares. These encounters allow Kei to uncover the mystery hidden in her blood. Throughout the narrative, Kei’s antagonists, the twin oni Nozomi and Mikage, continue to cause trouble for him. The tale of Akai Ito changes significantly depending on the choices made by the player. These choices alter the story’s progression and the conclusion that the player is given (several of which suggest romantic feelings among the female characters).
