There's a tale that, beyond a certain elm tree, under a full moon, a mystical mansion can appear to those who look for it. But beware, if you don't get out in time, you're trapped inside.

In the original game, you play as Jonathan, whose sister has been lured to the titular mansion by a butterfly, and he must find her and escape before the mansion vanishes from the earth.
The Saturn version flips the viewpoint around, with the player character being one of the butterflies inside. As an entity named June, the moon has suddenly turned blood red, and you must work together with the mansion's other residents to uncover why.
