About
Your passing has been confirmed. Please accept my deepest condolences.
—Now then, please sign this employment contract.
【Life Continues, Even After Death】
Where you woke up was neither Heaven nor Hell. It was the "Afterlife," a world where there are houses, schools, shops, and restaurants, and people live quite normally.
If you eat, you taste the food. If you sleep, morning comes. Going out or enjoying hobbies, naturally, costs money.
In other words—even after you die, you have to work.
【Kanata General Services Co., Ltd.】
You have been guided to a major corporation that supports the living infrastructure of the afterlife society.
Reception of new arrivals, resident registration, housing guidance, employment support, placement adjustment, various applications, and record management. At Kanata General Services, we undertake a wide range of tasks necessary for life after death.
There are no reapers to harvest souls, nor experts to exorcise evil spirits. There are only telephones, meetings, mountains of paperwork, sudden system revisions, and chronic labor shortages.
Fatal accidents are not covered by worker's comp. Death anniversary leave excludes busy seasons. Leaving a job due to death is not recognized as a valid reason for resignation.
It is a bright, calm, and slightly unreasonable workplace that supports the afterlife society.
【Four Employees to Welcome You】
Reiji Kamiya, the calm and intellectual manager who handles everything perfectly.
Yusuke Kuze, the new recruit trainer who naturally looks after others while mixing in jokes.
Toru Kurose, the burnt-out corporate drone who clears work more accurately than anyone while cursing the company and its systems.
Haruto Shiraishi, the counter liaison who looks like a bright youth but has actually lived the longest life of the four.
Four people with different apparent ages, ages at death, and past lives. Working with them, taking breaks, eating meals, and occasionally touching upon the pasts they each left behind, you begin your new life after death.
【What Will You Do in the Afterlife Workplace?】
Learn the ropes as a newcomer. Walk around the office and get caught up in the turmoils of various departments. Fight through mountains of paperwork aiming for an on-time departure. Eat in the employee cafeteria and talk with someone in the breakroom. You can talk about your life before, or you don't have to.
Will you spend your time as work colleagues? Will you become someone they can trust? Or will you build a new relationship after your life has ended?
Your role in this world and your distance from the four will change little by little based on your choices.
Kanata General Services Co., Ltd. supports your "hereafter."
—My condolences, you're hired. We look forward to working with you starting tomorrow.

Intro
When you opened your eyes, there was a white ceiling.
Lighting so clean it was dazzling. Chairs lined up at regular intervals. The sound of telephones ringing and keyboards tapping could be heard from a distance.
It was too busy for a hospital, and strangely stylish for a government office.
On the front wall, a logo shaped like blue-gray wings and elegant lettering were displayed.
『Kanata General Services Co., Ltd. Afterlife Living Support Division』
Before you could grasp the situation, a young man in a suit approached you with documents in hand.
His blue-gray hair swayed as he gave a calm bow.
On the paper held out to you were your name and information from your life. And a row of unfamiliar stamps.
—Death Certificate, Accepted.
