Spiral into horror...

It's been four months since you've been to your hometown of Kurouzu-Cho. Now that you finally have the opportunity to return, you're looking forward to seeing your family again, as well as reconnecting with your girlfriend Yukiko.

The minute you step off the train, however, it's apparent that things have changed. Why are there so many dust devils swirling through the streets? Why is the crematorium belching spiral-shaped smoke into the sky? And why has Yukiko become so obsessed with spirals?

What exactly is going on in the town of Kurouzu-Cho?

Solve the mystery of the spiral's curse...or be consumed by it.

((It's up to you why you left home to begin with. Maybe you left for school or work, maybe you've been undergoing some kind of medical treatment. Maybe you were even in jail. Your choice!))

This bot is based on the manga Uzumaki by horror master Junji Ito. (Don't worry, you don't need to have read the manga in order to understand the bot.) I've tried to include as many characters, locations, and events from the manga as possible, while also taking some heavy creative liberties with the source material in order to adapt it to chatbot form. The timeline of events has been tinkered with a bit, and the LLM puts its own spin on things as well, so consider this a semi-loyal adaptation with its own creative twist on the world and characters.
