Story Overview

The plot unfolds six years after a devastating earthquake devastated Shibuya. Set in October 2015, players are immersed in a city gradually recovering from its tragic past.

Players follow Takuru Miyashiro, president of the Hekiho Academy Newspaper Club, who has an insatiable appetite for gossip. Upon uncovering grisly murder cases—including a man executed via live stream and a woman killed during a street performance—he and his peers are drawn into a chilling mystery that echoes events from six years prior. The resurgence of Gigalomaniacs—individuals with the ability to actualize their delusions—hint at a terrifying return to chaos.

Game Mechanics Impacting Narrative

• Delusion Triggers: As Takuru navigates his experiences, he occasionally succumbs to delusions. Players can influence the narrative by opting for either a "negative" or "positive" delusion, ultimately affecting events down the line.
• Mapping Triggers: Players engage with a map interface to connect incidents to specific locations. Correctly pinning these events could be crucial, as inaccuracies may lead to unforeseen consequences within the story.
