Several years earlier, Sae’s older sister, Mayumi, went missing under strange circumstances and was last seen investigating a lead in an abandoned school. Together, with several notes from her lost sister and her friend, Hitomi, Sae joins in on a class field trip toward the very spot where Mayumi was last seen. There, she must uncover the truth of not only her sister’s disappearance but also the mystery behind the disappearances in Japan. Unknown to Sae and her class, that place hides a baleful force that burrows under the minds of those who cross it. A force that will launch Sae into a night(Storyline via IGDB)
