What to study

Decorating is done from inside the room rather than a separate editor: the isometric cutaway shows the bedroom as it will actually be lived in, bed, bookshelves, layered rugs, while a furniture hotbar along the bottom cycles the pieces and 'Retrieve / Details' prompts handle taking things back. The mode keeps the game's whole frame (hearts, money, the PM 10:45 clock, even the rain icon), and it keeps the game's other half too: a small blue ghost waits on the porch outside, a reminder that Kagatsu's night rules are never fully switched off. The trailer's section title, 'Decorating', is burned across the bottom-left corner. Frame at about 0:38 in the English Launch trailer (Steam).

Screen inventory

• an isometric cutaway bedroom: double bed with round cushions, bookshelves and cabinets along the walls, layered rugs (a green floral round rug over a geometric runner), lanterns and a large teddy bear
• a furniture hotbar along the bottom: cabinet, chest and ornament slots with one empty slot highlighted red as the current selection
• prompts at right: a d-pad 'Retrieve' and 'R3 Details'; the readout at top right shows 20,078 yen, SU/14 (SUN), PM 10:45 with a rain umbrella icon
• a small pale-blue ghost figure standing on the porch outside the room, the village's shade, present even in the decorating mode
