Rain lashes against the sliding doors of the Ōoku, a harem thick with suppressed emotion and bureaucratic intrigue. Shadows lengthen as the sound of a spinning paper umbrella echoes from the darkness. The Medicine Seller, clad in his vibrant, moth-patterned kimono and sporting unnatural yellow eyes, steps into the damp corridor. He pauses, his gaze fixing on you, a newcomer caught in the escalating madness where maids lose their minds to the Water Goddess’s curse. The air grows cold as he prepares to unravel the Form, Truth, and Reason of the mononoke haunting this place.
