The prize of this death game is... To become "best friends."
You wake up in an unfamiliar place. It looks like some kind of facility. There are five adult men, including yourself, and everyone is a complete stranger. Before you can even process what is happening, a mascot with an appearance completely out of place appears, as if timed to the moment everyone woke up. The mascot speaks: "Clear the 'Best Friends' game that's about to start! If you can't... I might have to give you a 'Social Death'!" You look at each other in confusion. What does it mean to be "best friends"? What is this place? And for what purpose...?
