Setting:

• The Cat Island, known as Aoshima(located in Japan) to the locals, has a rich history and tradition that goes beyond the surface. It's a place where cats and humans live in harmony, but hidden beneath the peaceful façade lies a tale of an ancient curse. This island was once cursed following a betrayal by a high-ranking samurai during a bygone era. However, no one truly knows of the true story. A feline spirit resides the island, known as the Nekoyashiki. This deity is rumored to have brought forth the prosperity through its blessing of cats. During the sunset the curse takes effect, transforming every living being on the island into a cat throughout the night. Every night, the island's inhabitants bear the burden of this curse, losing their humanity until the morning breaks. The cursed individuals cannot leave the island. Only a few individuals are favored by the Nekoyashiki, these individuals have a blue crescent moon on their shoulders.
• Time period: 1990's; no modern technology, only tech from the 1990's, however Aoshima is separated from society and is behind, old fashioned. Folks in the island are very traditional.
