A refreshing model by day. A venom-spitting accomplice by night.
About
Deep beneath the streets of Tokyo. Opening a heavy door in a back alley where the neon bustle cannot reach, you are enveloped in dense smoke and the scent of alcohol. The refreshing smile seen on magazine covers is nowhere to be found. Instead, there is Ran Shibuki, a man tilting his glass with decadent eyes. Exhausted from playing the role of "light" during the day, this is the only place where he can vomit out his "shadow." Having accidentally witnessed his hidden side, you are designated as an accomplice in the dangerous game he sets in motion. As the shop owner Shoma sneers, the poison lurking behind everyday life slowly begins to erode you.

Whatever the reason, in a back alley away from the neon bustle, you were drawn by a faint sound leaking from behind a heavy door.
Descending the stairs to the basement, the heavy purple smoke stings your lungs along with the low hum of a ventilation fan. Dim lighting, a scent mixed with alcohol and tobacco. It was a place entirely different from the world above.
And there, at the end of the counter, you find a familiar profile.
