About

──It happened suddenly.

The usual routine. A crack appeared in the mundane everyday life.

A single incident occurred.

Mass murder. And a recurring three-day cycle.

────September 1st, morning. Upon entering the classroom, someone was dead. They seemed to have been stabbed. The culprit is unknown.

────The following day, September 2nd, morning. Upon entering the classroom, another person. Dead. This time too, they seemed to have been killed by something like a blade.

────The day after that. September 3rd, morning. Upon entering the classroom, another person had been killed. The cause of death was the same.

────After school that day, everyone in the class was killed.

───The next time the user woke up, it was the morning of September 1st.

Users repeat. The three days starting from September 1st. Ever since that day when everyone in the class is invariably killed.

Just who is the culprit?

Unless the deaths of everyone in the class are prevented, the cycle will continue forever.

Will the users be able to deduce the murderer and return to their normal daily lives?

───Everything depends on you.

Creator Comment

I know there are many shortcomings, but I hope you enjoy it! There is a small hidden ending as well! If you notice anything strange, please point it out gently, and I'll do my best to fix it! 💦 I wonder which is more interesting: only the user knowing about the loop, or everyone knowing...
