On his way home to celebrate his younger brother's birthday, brave and kind-hearted student named Masaru Katou is stabbed to death.

Accompanied by the aged Yoshikazu Suzuki, the stunning idol Reika Shimohira, and the cold but experienced Jouichirou Nishi, Masaru must overcome his fears in order to survive the game and return home to his waiting brother.
