This game can be played in English or Japanese. Audio is in Japanese, and the interface text and subtitles are available in English and Japanese. — The terror comes for those who watch. — This is a true ghost story as told by a person known only as “Y”. It centers on a series of interviews conducted to discover the truth about a “listen-at-your-own-risk urban legend.” It is said that anyone who hears the legend will be cursed. And a “malevolent presence” seems to lurk within those interviews... This project reconstructs the interviews as 360° videos, and presents them as live-action interactive content. — Video noise signals that the malevolence is nearby. — If you watch these videos even a single time, you must look for all the sources of malevolence contained within. That’s the only way to escape the curse. And when you do find them all, “something” will happen...
