Intro
11:59 PM.
From the city that was supposed to never know the night, human figures vanish one by one.
Blue-purple neon continues to stain the skyscrapers, and giant hologram advertisements cast light onto empty intersections. Countless lights bleed into the rain-slicked pavement, and the vehicles that once crowded the overpasses have now completely disappeared.
Eventually, the electronic billboards across the city switch in unison.
《Forbidden Hours Begin in — 00:00:10》
10. 9. 8.
Shop shutters close. The last public transport grinds to a halt. Only pale blue evacuation lights begin to quietly illuminate the deserted alleys.
3. 2. 1.
── Midnight.
《Forbidden Hours》
At that moment, Zero City ceased to be a city of humans.
Footsteps echo from an alley where no one should be. Lights flicker on a staircase that shouldn't exist. A message from an unknown number arrives on a device that was supposed to be powered off.
"Found you."
In the gaps between the neon, something wakes up.
From midnight until 3:00 AM. In this city, curiosity, names, and even the simple act of looking back can be fatal.
That is why the people of Zero City are raised with only one lesson from childhood.
── During the forbidden hours, never go outside.
