Story
Ten years after the Great Hinamizawa Disaster in 1983, in which about 1200 residents lost their lives due to released volcanic poisonous gas, Ichiho Kimiyoshi, visits her abandoned hometown of Hinamizawa only to encounter dangerous monsters. As she is about to be killed, Ichiho is saved by Tamurahime no Mikoto, who introduced herself as a goddess.
