The hero of this story is Takashiro Shugo - an ex-police officer, now unemployed and freeloading at a brothel. From time to time he takes on detective work from his former superior. A missing persons case is dumped onto him one day. Kohzuki Yura... the girl he had an intimate relationship with before being sent off to war. A brutal series of killings begins. As they occur closer and closer to home, Shugo can no longer turn a blind eye, and is dragged into the spiraling web of missing people and murders.

I had to force myself to sit through this before playing Kara no Shoujo because of some connections that ended up not being that important anyway, and just nice nods at past material at best. One of my least pleasant VN reads ever. Good production values and atmosphere for the time, unfortunately very "porny", so to speak. And somehow they managed a ~17 hour VN feel long. Some of the non-canon endings have literal ero-fanfic-tier writing. I don't like "VN homework", VNs that you have to read for the sake of a better, non-direct-sequel-with-the-same-cast sequels.
