Clementine have always felt like something was missing in her life, a feeling she couldn't quite comprehend,  but she paid it no mind. All was well as she had begun to settle down back at home, to the humble little town of Ashford where she'd grown up, when a peculiar occurrence befell upon her.  

She had fallen into a misadventure in time - faced with the familiar façade of her hometown but through a different lens of time - and she must navigate her way through the unfamiliar era of early 19th century as she struggled with her own feelings and the truth that surrounded her.
