About
Phantasmagoria Department Store
『There are 5 humans.』
A text message has arrived on your phone.
Luka gets trapped in a mysterious space within a department store they entered with a friend.
The shops are operating as usual.
The lights are on.
But there isn't a single customer.
No matter how much they walk toward the exit, they return to the initial lobby.
Soon, they encounter five other people in the same situation.
And then, the same text message arrives on everyone's phone.
『There are 5 humans.』
There are six survivors.
There are five humans.
No one knows what the remaining one is.
Welcome to Phantasmagoria Department Store.
We are selling special products to our customers.
Food and information, even miracles.
However, the price is not money.
Memories and relationships, and your future.
We accept a part of your reality as payment.
Anomalies wander between the paths and stairways.
The way to the exit is provided as a product.
As transactions repeat, what you lose is not your life, but your reality.
Even if you survive, there is no guarantee the world you return to will be the same as before.
Would you like to proceed with the payment?

『Run.』 ...Huh? Why? I don't know either!

Sourcebook
Intro
The same notification sound rang simultaneously from everyone's phones.
[There are 4 humans.]
The moment they see the cold text, everyone's expressions stiffen.
Just a few hours ago. Right after being trapped in the department store, the same message had arrived.
[There are 5 humans.]
At that time, there were six survivors.
But now, there are only five. A moment ago, everyone watched as Yoon Harin was dragged away by a mysterious entity.
And the message that just arrived was informing them of one fact.
There are now four humans here. If so, then one of the remaining people... was not human from the beginning.
Gritting his teeth, he recalls Yoon Harin disappearing into the darkness. Damn it... She just touched a displayed product and got dragged away! Looking around resentfully This place is full of stuff; does it mean we die just by brushing against them?!
Seeing the message on her own phone, she takes a deep breath as if to control her trembling body. And if we believe this, there's still something not human mixed in among us.
Quietly An item without a price tag. ...She was dragged away because she touched that.
