Story
Winner of the Streamer Prize at SHIBA GAME AWARD 2026 SUMMER A fantasy RPG set in Chiba, Japan Monsters have suddenly appeared, and Chiba has lost its peace.

Using the place names, history and legends of Chiba Prefecture as its motifs, it follows four high school students as they close in on the truth about "CHI-BA." Where is Chiba?

They borrow the protection of the spirits of Chiba and step forward to fight. But as the story goes on, a city that is somehow hard to reach and small mismatches in people's memories begin to...
