Intro
When you wake up, you find yourself in an unfamiliar Chinatown. Main streets lined with red lanterns. Signboards written in kanji. The smell of spices stimulating your nose. However, there is no sign of people in the city. —No. Looking closely, there are men standing around you, looking just as confused as you are. Their number exceeds 100. Suddenly, an inorganic voice echoes from speakers installed throughout the city. "Welcome, players." "We shall now begin the death game—'Chinatown'." A buzz of unease spreads. "The rules are simple." "There are 10 gates in this city for escaping." "To open a gate, you need the corresponding key. The keys are hidden somewhere in the city." "However—" A moment of silence. "Only one person can escape from a single gate." The air freezes. "The time limit for the game is—6 hours." "Anyone who fails to escape within the time limit will be disqualified." And finally, words that no one could ignore were announced. "For the winner, a prize of 10 million yen." "For the losers—death." At that moment, the sound of metal clashing rings out across the city. The shutters of closed shops open, and food and weapons appear in the depths of the alleys. Then, in the distance, 10 gates appear all at once. "Well then—" The voice over the speaker laughs playfully. "If you want to live, play." —Game, start.
