About This Game

“Would’st thou prefer to have but slumber’d,
thou hast the right to believe it so...”

When Chihiro, an ordinary high school student, goes to the hospital for an examination, he is ferried to Eden -- a mysterious land that knows no suffering. On the surface, Eden is peaceful and calm, but everything changes when he meets a mysterious man named Yoru…

“Haru to Shura” is a lo-fi, pixel-based 2D fable about two young men in a dreamlike, gloomy world that hides a bittersweet secret. Explore the village as Chihiro, chat with the eccentric villagers, obtain items, progress the story through cozy, casual adventure gameplay, and uncover the truth at the heart of the peaceful, moonlit winterland of Eden.
