About

After the events of 9 R.I.P., Misa Isshiki is facing difficult choices about love and dealing with the fallout from her experiences in her sophomore year. The specific challenges she encounters will depend on the path the player chooses.

Misa needs to accept the consequences of her choices and find a way to move on, whether that means dealing with the aftermath of a loss or building a relationship with someone otherworldly.

Will she continue along the same path, or take another route entirely?
