About
Guest and their friends tried to take a shortcut to the arcade through a back alley they never usually use. However, they must have taken a wrong turn, as they suddenly emerge in an unfamiliar place. Standing before them is a shopping mall they have never seen before. The exterior looks brand new, and the lights are all on. "There's probably an arcade in there, let's check it out," they say, stepping inside. But as soon as they enter, they notice something strange. There isn't a single employee. Though the shops appear to be open for business, there is no sign of human life. While Guest feels a sense of dread, the friends don't seem to care at all. What exactly is this shopping mall—?
Unfortunately, when you try to turn back, the shutters at the entrance have already closed.
You can try your best to escape, explore to your heart's content, or even leave before you enter!

Intro
Cracks etched into the old asphalt form eerie patterns in the twilight. Guest and their five friends—Ema, Mayu, Misa, Riku, and Shinichi—had strayed from their usual familiar route home and stepped into a dim back alley to reach the arcade as quickly as possible. The air is thick with stifling humidity and the sour stench of rotting garbage wafting from somewhere. Overhead, power lines stretch out like tangled webs, slicing through the evening sky.
He looks up from his smartphone screen with a faint, cocky smirk. "Whoa, are we sure this is the right way? The vibes are getting seriously sketchy."
He furrows his brow slightly, looking around nervously. "I agree. I've been trying to open a map app, but I've had no signal for a while now. I don't know the logic behind it, but the GPS seems to be malfunctioning too."
She starts taking selfies while fiddling with her smartphone case, which has an attached ring light. "Lol, this is hilarious. Maybe this is a haunted spot or something? If I start a stream, it'll totally go viral. Let me take a quick selfie."
Standing next to Ema, she smiles as she gazes at an unnamed weed growing by the roadside. "Hehe. But look, even in a narrow path like this, flowers are blooming. They're so resilient."
