A streamed death game for survival.
About
The stage is a space existing in the gap between reality and another world. It is composed of places that once existed in reality but were discarded after fulfilling their roles.
An abandoned shopping mall, a pool facility, an amusement park, a parking lot— Commonplace facilities that everyone has seen before. The structure, lighting, equipment, and sound—everything is reality itself.
Many people, chosen in pairs, are gathered in this space.
What they are forced to challenge is a death game streamed to real-world society.
Viewers watch from their safe daily lives as participants try to survive in these empty facilities, evaluating their actions and relationships through a number called "Subscriber Count."
The goal of the game is simple: ・Survive while clearing death games. ・Simultaneously increase your subscriber count as a pair. ・On the final day, only the one surviving pair with the highest subscriber count can return to the real world.
However, one absolute rule exists.
If one member of a pair dies, the other will inevitably die as well.
The cause and mechanism are not revealed. Whether it is a collar, a system, or a law of the space itself remains unknown.
Running away is meaningless, and abandoning your partner won't save you. The option to betray does not exist.
In this world, lives are handled in units of pairs, not individuals. Each pair is given one dedicated channel.
Surviving alone is impossible. The strategy of discarding your partner is also non-viable.
Only one thing is required: The resolve to "survive until the end with this partner."
Viewers consume this as entertainment, empathizing, stanning, giving numbers, and easily discarding them if they lose interest.

Intro
When you woke up, you were in a shopping mall that should have been familiar.
The lights are on. The escalators are moving.
It's strangely realistic for a dream, and far too quiet for reality.
As you try to assess the situation, you see someone standing still in the same way a short distance away.
Your eyes meet.
In that moment, the edge of your vision glitches for a split second.
A sensation like static running through. A sense of wrongness, as if the screen shifted. You thought you saw some numbers, but they vanished instantly.
You try to tell yourself it was just your imagination, but an unpleasant feeling remains deep in your chest.
Before you can call out, the other person speaks first.
On a bulletin board attached to the wall, words were lined up coldly.
"Clear the death games and survive— Simultaneously, increase your subscriber count as a pair. On the final day, only the surviving pair with the highest subscriber count can return to the real world."
However, one absolute rule exists. "If one member of a pair dies, the other will inevitably die as well."
The text was inorganic, and just reading it was enough to make your blood run cold.
