When I first started looking into this game, I couldn’t help but think the subject material is rather mature for a Wii title. Perhaps that is part of why I found myself so interested in it. The game takes place at the start of man’s downfall, and the player explores a variety of deserted ruins that now make up the world.
The main character is named Seto (セト), and he believes he may be the lone survivor of an unknown cataclysmic event. He explores these various ruins of the world equipped with a metal detector, a tree branch, and a flashlight.

Naturally since the game is for the Wii, all three tools will be controlled by the Wiimote. Seto is exploring these ruins in the hopes of finding any other survivors. From the screenshots I have seen, these ruins consist of amusements parks, subway trains, and city streets. The game is classified as a “Ruin Exploring RPG”, but so far no information on the battle system has been released to the public. Although it is clear that the player will battle with evil spirits or demons that haunt the post-apocalyptic world that Seto roams. Also, when monsters approach the main character, ghostly sounds will emanate from the Wiimote.
The designers say that they do not consider this game to be on the same level as a horror film, but rather more akin to a human drama. The attached YouTube video explains:

“Oh? A firefly.
This world is so spacious, and more people are brought into it everyday.
So why am I all alone?”
[The writing on the wall says "Please save the child...]
–This is for anyone who has ever thought this way…

The only other information the creators are releasing at this point is images of this possible unnamed heroine. It seems that Seto discovers her at some point in his journeys. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more info on this title. The game’s teaser website can be found here.
