In a near future Japan, society is controlled by KokoroNet. A sleek system that regulates emotions to erase stress, pain, and unpredictability. Real animals have vanished, replaced by sterile robotic companions. Love, grief, and joy have all been flattened into calm neutrality.
People live peacefully… but without feeling. Hidden within the cracks of this controlled world, small beings known as Touchis have reawakened. Once discarded prototypes or emotional glitches, they now embody the very feelings KokoroNet erased: comfort, joy, hope, curiosity, expression, and longing.
Each Touchi carries a fragment of lost emotion, sharing it with those who have forgotten what it means to truly feel. With every touch, a ripple forms… and KokoroNet’s grip begins to weaken.
In a world that silenced the heart, the Touchis are gentle rebels, reminding us the importance of emotional connection in our world.
