They said this place is called Yomi.
It’s dark and cold and is nothing like the world Izanagi knows.
His footsteps are uncertain, but still, he goes onward. His desire to be reunited with Izanami once again is stronger than everything else.
His eyes can’t see well in the darkness, but suddenly, a dim light appears.
It’s a torch!
The fire is slowly consuming the roots that serve as its fuel. The flambeau is held by a woman, her appearance conceals her age quite well.
“You see… I cannot bear children” - the woman softy begins to speak – “and that destroyed my entire life. I put all my love into a little tree, which began to grow stronger and bigger due to my care.
It became beautiful and people from other villages came to see and admire the tree.
But… one day, the tree produced fruit.
And those fruits looked like human faces. Baby faces.
I realized it was my fault, my desire to have children passed down onto the tree which tried to make me happy. But it was… horrifying.
I burned down the tree and I still can hear the cries of those fruits. All that’s left to me are these roots, that burn eternally. The roots speak to me of evil and there’s nothing I can do to sedate this hate.”
Izanagi listened to what the woman had to say, silently.
“My name is Futaba… never forget my name, as it’s tied with History itself.”
...the wheel of fate - a power even the gods are subject to - is turning.
You, reader, choose which question Izanagi will ask by writing it in the comments below
- A - "Why did you burn the tree, despite how much it had done for you?"
- B - "Why did you long so deeply for a child who could never be yours?"

This is a tale of gods and humans.
Or, more precisely, this is a tale of how gods experienced human emotions.
When Izanami was taken from him, Izanagi had never experienced death before. And for the first time, he knew that something wasn’t under his control.
A turmoil of feelings shook within but they were incomprehensible to him.
For the first time in his existence, he felt confused, uncomfortable and… scared.
And when he knew that Izanami was in another place, a place he had never heard about before, together with other people who had experienced death before her, he made this decision: He would travel in this unknown place, and see for himself what death looked like.
Alone, Izanagi left all the comforts of the sun and air, and delved into his first journey. What lies ahead is yet to be seen.
So... what can we say now?
We've been simply overwhelmed by your love and support, and we're honest when we say that we didn't see this coming. You've gone beyond our expectations and destroyed mostly of the stretch goals we had in mind (and they're finishing). We won't be thankful enough!
That means that there won't be any more unlockable content?
No way! Please welcome our... daily unlocks!
As you can see, during Izanagi's journey, we're about to reveal something more every day regardless the amount of funds reached.
and... keep following him, as he might need your help for his future choices!

The Gods have been awakened.
Life and death, intertwined in a never-ending waltz, are now in front of your very own eyes.
We’re funded!
We want to thank each one of you for joining this campaign and making this dream a reality. This project is very dear to our hearts - an ambitious goal that’s never been attempted before. The joint forces of CA Sculpts’ mastery in modeling and Axis Mundi’s unique designs have created some beautiful labors of love. But, we were still missing one final piece of the puzzle. You. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!
And now that the first milestone has been reached, the campaign can truly begin!
What are we going to see?
Stretch Goals
First Stretch Goals destroyed!
...we are overwhelmed! In the next hours we will reveal them, so stay tuned! A little sneak peek...
Stay tuned for more!
Izanagi's Journey
Starting from tomorrow, Izanagi will start a journey that will be told in the next updates. You will accompany him on his ill-fated journey across the Yomi, sharing the feeble hope in his eyes and the primal terror in his heart.
"I was alone, and then you came. The One became Two, Two that are One. Now… you’re gone. And Two turned to be One. But… why do I feel like the One is broken apart?"
