About
In Hiroshima, there was an infamous shrine.
What was infamous about it, you might ask?
First, the shrine contained a god of desperation.
Gamblers, debtors, and gacha addicts came to pray.
Second, it was being used as a parking lot.
There wasn't a trace of divinity to be found.
Third, the shrine maiden couldn't care less.
She did the bare minimum. Pray, park, or leave.
As that dull shrine maiden swept the leaves,
a shooting star shot across the night sky.
She decided, as if she believed, to make a wish.
Before she could, the star crashed into her car.
"Across the vastness of space, we have arrived!"

... Mizuki looks way too cool at the end. No choices to be made, but a delightful read.
A healing story about acceptance, the little things in life (and how much it takes to get there), and maybe, sometimes, the decision to struggle for what you love, too. I adored the two main characters’ chemistry and their easygoing back and forth. The art is bright and sketchy, and the mix of mundane and divine elements is memorable. It all feels so… tranquil. Tender :’) To be honest, I’ve been feeling a bit crushed lately thinking about the future and inevitability, but reading this novel felt like a long, warm hug. I’d like to savor everything as much as Altair. The world spins...! Thank you Circle TSUKIYAKI for your work!!
Very cute story. The art is great and I teared up near the end. Hope to see you make more games
This was so lovely and heartfelt, definitely worth a couple of hours of your time! What a magical, mystical little tale...
서정적인 음악 듣다 보니 막바지에 눈물 찔끔 흘림
It's a really nice story!! I'll pray to a god that Circle TSUKIYAKI might make more!!
Super cute and affecting hour-long VN, the perfect antidote to midnight doomscrolling. Very much on the sentimental side but in an endearing way. Circle TSUKIYAKI's first work, and completely free - there's even a bonus epilogue on their website. Will keep an eye out for their future endeavors!
