VN Others Hashihime of the Old Book Town

Hashihime of the Old Book Town is set in Jinbochou, Tokyo, during the rainy season of June 1922 in the Taisho era. Tamamori arrives in Tokyo aiming for the Imperial University but fails the entrance exam, gets kicked out of his boarding house after two years of pure daydreaming, and lands at Umebachidou, a used book store, where he settles into a comfortable life as a perpetual exam-prep student. Then his hometown friends start dying, one after another, and he realizes he's been reliving the same three rainy days on a loop.

Built as a gay Japanese visual novel with a pop-occult horror spine, the game leans on multiple endings, fully voiced cast, and a romance/mystery split where every loop reveals a little more. ADELTA keeps the central question open until late: what's real, and what's a hallucination?
