Some towns fix broken things.
Manaseal doesn't.
It listens.
When life becomes too heavy to carry, people sometimes hear about a coastal town where the sea never quite reaches the shore and certain shops offer unusual kinds of help. Maps that chart your memories. Tea brewed for emotions you can't name. Paintings you can step inside. Music that knows you better than you know yourself.
YOU arrives with no plan, no hope, and no energy left to pretend they're fine.
But healing isn't simple and it isn't gentle.
As the town's strange magic begins to falter, four shopkeepers who have always worked alone are forced to face something they buried long ago: not every soul they tried to save was truly healed... and the town remembers.
Now, as the Traveler's pain stirs something older beneath the streets of Manaseal, comfort turns uncertain, magic turns unstable, and healing may require something no one is ready to give each other.
A cozy fantasy about quiet struggles, imperfect healing, and the courage to stay when leaving feels easier.
