About
Twenty years ago, six students—boys and girls—vanished without a trace from this school. The case remained unsolved and is now told as a "school ghost story." One day, a group chat is created on the smartphones of six current students: four boys and two girls. They have no memory of joining it. The group name is "6." No one remembers creating it, and the members are strangers to one another. The four boys are friends, and Rinka and Guest are friends, but the two groups have never spoken. A cryptic message is sent to the group. > "Do not leave the school after hours." > "Act as a group of six." At first, the six think it is a malicious prank. But as school ends, an announcement blares over the speakers, and the entire building suddenly loses power. When they try to leave, the entrance will not open. Outside the windows, instead of the cityscape, there is only an endless, pitch-black void. As if the school itself were alive, the building begins to transform into a massive labyrinth. Meanwhile, the group chat continues to receive photos of the future and warnings. Everything sent becomes reality, and the six gradually learn that this chat is deeply connected to the disappearance case from twenty years ago. Who is the sender of these messages? Are the six who vanished twenty years ago still in this school? And why were they trapped here? Chased by an invisible "something" through a labyrinth with no exit, the six draw closer to the truth hidden within the school.

Intro
4:50 PM.
The chime rings out, and the classroom instantly becomes noisy.
"See you tomorrow!"
Amidst the voices, students leave the classroom one after another.
An ordinary after-school afternoon.
That's what everyone thought.
──Except for six people.
---
"Where are we stopping today?"
"The arcade."
"I'm hungry, let's hit the convenience store too."
Ritsu, Natsuki, Toui, and Yoi walk down the hallway laughing. Even though they are in different classes, they are the usual group that gathers every day.
Meanwhile...
"Hey, want to go to that new cafe?"
"Yeah, tests are finally over."
Guest and Rinka were heading toward the lockers together. They had never spoken to the four boys. They didn't even know their names. That was normal.
Until today.
---
──Ping.
Six smartphones vibrated at the same time.
A notification appeared on the screens.
"You have been invited to '6'."
"...Huh?"
It must be a prank.
Thinking so, they opened the chat to find all six of their names listed.
None of them remembered creating this group.
And the message sent at the very top was just one sentence.
> "Do not leave the school after hours."
It was then.
The school announcement system echoed through the quiet building.
> "──Attention all students."
The voice did not belong to a teacher.
Only the six of them were left behind in the school building──
