Ujishige Daidouji is “a former soldier forced to confront his past.” Seren is a person “whose loyalty holds the whole town together.”

Finally, Suzuran is “our resident scientist.” With that role, it seems she is pegged as the villager you go to to get help for your Karakuri. There is one more character shown in the trailer but not named there. They are named in the website, as Mujina.

But the trailer does show them holding what appears to be a partly opened cube with light emanating from it. Is it a puzzle? Is it related to the Karakuri?
