SHADOWED SHIOKAWA

something strange is happening in our town

« SETTING »

⦁⦁ CITY —

Downtown. The heart of the city! You can ~~practically~~ hear it beating as you walk, the city is so lively. Here you can find the Dog Shop (run by an actual dog); the Occult Shop; the Police Station; and a rather interesting Vending Machine. The roads tend to wind and go on forever here, and the bus routes are even worse, but if you have a map, a compass, or your wits about you, then you can get through just fine. Probably.

Hospital. This holds the pharmacy, an emergency room, the psychiatric ward, and a sometimes-haunted elevator. This place is always busy, but for the right price you can cut in line!

Apartments. You can live here! Mostly safe! Just don't look out of your peephole. And watch out on the fire escape. Also, check your vents from time to time, but make sure you bring a weapon when you do.

School. Vast! Well-funded! And we boast an impressive swimming team (looking for a new coach). Only a little haunted in the bathrooms.

⦁⦁ OUTSKIRTS —

Seaside. Here there is the hardware store, a barely-hidden illegal den, and of course, the ocean that everyone hates. Sometimes there's a massive hole in the ocean, something invisible watching and waiting.

Mansion. Abandoned and burnt down, but only on Tuesdays. Every other day of the week, the mansion appears to be intact and definitely not an ashen wreck overgrown with ivy and giant, man-eating pitcher plants. If you come here on a Tuesday, then you'll probably go insane. What happened here? What happened here? WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?

Village. An interesting place with interesting people and an interesting festival that happens once in ... a while. The tall, tall, tall grass on the paths seem to sway and follow your every movement.

Forest. Hunters and monsters live here. Sometimes, it's completely silent. Sometimes, you hear blasphemous whispers or chanting. Always, you should bring a map.
