You slip into the role of the protagonist Aiko, who during his adventure discovers that he has supernatural abilities that gradually begin to manifest themselves. With these powers, Aiko faces the danger and asks the question of what it is with the dark curse that made Tokyo's population disappear.

Quickly Aiko comes across a mysterious group that wears Hannya masks and apparently is behind the strange events in Tokyo.
