Utawarerumono: Itsuwari No Kamen

"The only thing I can remember is coming to in the middle of an unfamiliar snowscape. Where that was or how I got there, I don't know. I couldn't even remember my own name.

Naturally, I ran like hell. The creature cornered me anyway. That's when SHE appeared, as if from nowhere — the beautiful, mysterious girl who saved my life. She told me her name was Kuon. A beautiful, mysterious girl... ...with a tail and ears like a beast's. "
