Intro
Decades ago, there was a famous botanical garden in the mountains of a certain prefecture. There, one could see a vast variety of plants, from beautiful flowers and rare overseas species to the carnivorous plants that were popular at the time. On holidays, it was crowded with families and couples.
However, the facility suddenly closed one day. The management stated that "it became difficult to maintain the equipment," but since it had been so popular, many found it unnatural. Eventually, rumors began to circulate.
Before long, it became a spot for tests of courage, gaining fame once again. However, for some reason, those who went there for a test of courage would go missing. This only drew more people in, and you are about to become one of them.
Oh, are you starting to remember?
