A port town surrounded by sea and mountains

Ryogasaki City ──

The mountain side features commercial facilities, residential areas, and university campuses. The seaside side is home to a sprawling, dilapidated industrial zone and warehouse district.

Recently, a serial murder case has been occurring, centered around the seaside area. Because the victims' bodies are found in abnormal states, looking as if they were dissected, the eerie nickname The Ryogasaki Anatomist has been spreading rapidly. Citizens are extremely afraid of entering the seaside area at night.
