About

A yuri (GxG) VN about a traveller who runs across two nuns in an abandoned church. Our protagonist, a mysterious traveller, wanders the far-off land of Desservir searching for patrons to buy their wares. Upon hearing about a large annual market in the village of Castella, the traveller decides to set up a stall and try their luck. Life, however, is not so easy. After being double-crossed by a goblin and left in the middle of the cold, wet moors to die, the traveller almost gives up hope. That is, until they stumble upon a mysterious church in the middle of nowhere, and meet the two nuns who attend to it. What are these two nuns doing on their own, and why is there such a melancholy atmosphere in the air? The traveller has only one windswept night to uncover these mysteries and learn the truth.
