Missing Time

Missing Time is a story-driven horror visual novel about returning to your childhood town and investigating mysterious cases that locals have kept hidden. After an unfortunate chain of events draws you into the cases, you follow vague clues and instinct as they begin to involve people you know, including friends who seem as unaware as you are. As your final year of high school progresses, you can leave the mysteries alone and hope for the best, or investigate them and try to uncover the truth. Your choices lead to different outcomes.

The characters

You can pursue four character routes, alongside a secret route:

• Chiharu Ichihara: Your shy, bubbly childhood friend comes from a wealthy family but is kind and caring. Your shared past strengthens your bond, and you comfort and support each other.
• Emiri Onishi: Komachi High’s serious, quiet “Ice Queen” is also a dutiful priestess. Since Komachi was built on tradition, she became one of its figureheads when she inherited her family’s shrine, and she puts her responsibilities first.
• Shizuyo Onishi: Emiri’s twin is friendly and mischievous, and enjoys attracting attention. She is her sister’s mirror image in personality and attitude.
• Ember Honoyasei: The Occult Club president is outspoken, headstrong and passionate about Komachi’s mysteries. Though she has a reputation as a delinquent, she is determined to bring the cases to light despite any obstacles.
