The game takes place in the late 1980s in a small city called Misaki. In the city, there\u2019s a rumor going around about two witches living in a mansion at the top of a hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main protagonist is a high school student named Soujuurou Shizuki who just moved to the area from the countryside. Since he has just arrived in the city, he feels as if he\u2019s time traveled and is trying his best to adjust to modern society. One day, Soujuurou meets Aoko Aozaki and finds himself involved with modern-day witches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game\u2019s scenario was created by Kinoko Nasu, character design was handled by Hirokazu Koyama, and the script was written by Tsukurimonoji.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-001.jpg 800w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-002.jpg 800w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211227-187250-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><figcaption>Images from the <em>Witch on the Holy Night<\/em> visual novel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>ufotable, the animation studio behind the upcoming adaptation, has worked on <em>Demon <\/em>Slayer, and anime versions of other TYPE-MOON works such as <em>Kara no Kyoukai<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the game\u2019s story did have an ending, Nasu revealed in an interview at the time of the game\u2019s release that there was more to the story (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.4gamer.net\/games\/115\/G011514\/20120511075\/index_4.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4Gamer<\/a>).
