About This Game

Story

A batch of paranormal photos meant for a TV ghost special got mixed up with ordinary ones. Matsushita, on leave from work, is asked to sort through them.

As he separates the "normal" from the "paranormal," his everyday life begins to unravel.

Recurring nightmares. An endless sorting task. And strange visitors who come to his door. "Throw the photos away right now. This is a warning."

Can Matsushita escape the curse hidden within the photos? And who — or what — is behind it all?
