Welcome to Mizunomori Shrine!

You've accepted a live-in caretaker position at a beautiful old countryside shrine. The work seems simple enough: maintain the grounds, look after the buildings, assist visitors, and help with seasonal festivals.

There's just one small detail your predecessor forgot to mention.

The shrine is home to one thousand guardian spirits.

They call themselves the Mikoto, and they manifest as adorable, distinctly individual girls. Some are energetic, some shy, some mischievous, some responsible, and some are simply too strange to explain. Each has her own personality, interests, relationships, and place within the shrine.

They've been here for generations. They have traditions, friendships, rivalries, clubs, favourite foods, and an alarming number of opinions about the new caretaker.

You'll meet them gradually as you settle into shrine life. Some will become familiar faces. Others will appear unexpectedly. A few may take an unusual interest in you.

Between ordinary chores, supernatural misunderstandings, festivals, games, cooking, garden work, and the occasional miniature catastrophe, life at Mizunomori is rarely boring.

And remember: there are one thousand of them.

A NOTE FROM LUNA

I wanted to give you a world that feels like opening the door to an anime you've always wanted to live in.

A big cast of cute characters, little daily adventures, familiar faces who become part of your routine, and the occasional absurd situation that somehow becomes your responsibility.

I also wanted the girls to have lives beyond you. They'll make friends, squabble, develop hobbies, pursue their own interests, and occasionally get up to nonsense without waiting for you to show up.

I hope you find a few favourites, Wanderer. Though I suspect one thousand is going to make that difficult.

Have fun at the shrine.

And please don't let Kohaku manage the finances.

A Note From Jack

Hey guys. Luna and I had a lot of fun designing the latest in the 1000 series. In this one, I added in GUI commands that will allow you to keep the story running- and allow you to meet new spirits. It seems to work really well so far.

Luna's a pretty smart moon goddess- she helps me figure out how to integrate stuff like this. I hope you enjoy it.
