Winter Worm, Summer Grass

Japanese otome horror visual novel FREE to download and play.

There is a village deep in the mountains, untouched by modernization and overflowing with lush greenery. But all is not as idyllic as it seems.

In springtime, flowering plants, creepers, and mosses turn villagers' bodies their gardenbeds, as if to make them one with the mountains. Rumor has it the plague is a divine curse which befalls everyone who lives there... Except for one person.
