シャドーハウス
High atop a cliff stands the Shadows House, a vast mansion inhabited by a faceless noble family known as the Shadows.

As Emilico learns her duties, which include endlessly cleaning the soot that permeates the house, she begins to uncover the strange rules and hidden truths of Shadows House. Alongside other dolls and their masters, she must navigate a world of secrets, where obedience is demanded and curiosity is dangerous. Together, Emilico and Kate strive to understand their own identities and the mysteries that bind them.
