It's a time of war.
All the young people are gone away to fight. Among the elders left in the village, only Hisato is willing to stand guard at the gate. In this time of unrest, many people are traveling, homeless, or looking for work. Hisato must decide who to permit and who to refuse. There is only one month before the snows come. The village must store up enough food to last the winter, but will Hisato last another night?
In this light Role Playing adventure, guide Hisato through each night guarding the gate. Every stranger admitted to the village joins the community- for good or ill. The fate of Hisato and the village is up to YOU!

Technical Info
This game uses a proprietary software rendering engine called ElderBoy. It runs natively on a single thread, and does not make use of hardware graphics acceleration. A single GDI call is used to display the rendering buffer, so all compatible versions of Windows should be able to run this executable, regardless of hardware.
