About the Game

To live, they take the stage.

Those who keep crossing sleepless nights.
Those who could not choose to break.

The World

People did not stop dying.
But between life and death, many choices came to exist.

Those who, burdened by illness, choose that place in order to live.
Those who, having committed a crime, choose that place in lieu of punishment.

What awaits them are two facilities, sealed off from the outside world.

In one, they take the stage for the drug that sustains their lives.
In the other, they survive to win back their freedom.

Singing.
Dancing.
Acting.
And competing against one another.

There, even human life is treated as a form of value.
This is the story of eight boys and young men who, each for different reasons, stepped into places sealed off from the world.

The Facility: relief

Home to protagonist Shion.

An experimental facility, isolated from the outside world, that houses those who require life-prolonging treatment.

Residents are continuously administered a drug that keeps them alive. Living within the facility, they take part in performances: singing, dance, acting, and more.

To take the stage and captivate an audience.
The value created there is also the price paid to keep them alive.

Within the facility, performances of many different formats are held.

Characters

SHION (獅音)
A young man with a heart condition, living without a heartbeat, sustained only by the facility's drug. Gentle and earnest, he cannot feel whether he is truly alive. Only the time he spends surrendering himself to music gives his silent body something to stand in for a heartbeat.

AZAMI (薊)
A former underground idol with a warm, friendly smile and a dazzling presence. The affection Azami showed fans was genuine, but after a certain incident, Azami was framed for fraud and sent to the facility.
